Zapik Theatre was established in 1997 by two puppeteers - playwrighter and director Jelena Sitar and ethnomusicologist, curator and illustrator Igor Cvetko. Already in 2002 they were awarded the Tibor Sekelj Prize for their message of humanity at the PIF international festival in Zagreb. The aesthetics of their performances are based on minimalism, warmth, experience, intimacy and directness. Their small-scale performances for up to 50 spectators encompass puppets and music in play, education and therapy, with spectators not only observing but also actively collaborating. Zapik also organises workshops, festivals and seminars and publishes books and periodicals.
