Program description:

BEAR AND PIGGY

From Cicido children’s magazine to the theatre stage, Bear and Piggy are here to entertain the youngest audiences in this puppet performance as well. Bear and Piggy are best friends who live together in a tiny house on the top of a skyscraper next to their favourite playground.

Bear is patient, prudent and neat. Piggy, who is younger, is bubbly, playful and a tad rash. The adorable duo has its own way of dealing with (extra)ordinary day-to-day adventures and lessons to be learned. Their peculiarity is a source of endearing hiccups, which they manage to overcome thanks to the power of their sincere friendship.

The adventures of Bear and Piggy are a regular feature of the Cicido children’s magazine. The selected stories are also included in the Bear and Piggy picture books published by the Mladinska knjiga publishing house.
