The versatile performers reinterpret Levstik's well-known fairy tale by placing its motifs in a new
context and weaving them together into a dynamic composition interwoven with the accordion,
rock music, situational comedy, specific objects that are carefully crafted puppet elements and
improvised passages. Intermedial puppet cabaret The Hatchet is an interactive,
relaxed yet complex and socially critical performance that uniquely combines elements of
alternative conceptual art and rustic comedy.
The Hatchet is one of the latest creations of Matija Solce, a traveling puppeteer, actor, musician
, and director who is taking the puppet stage by storm with his boot and accordion shows. His
Teatro Matita focuses on exploring the theatre of objects, which ranges from using everyday
objects to performing with bones. Teatro Matita's productions have toured internationally
and have been performed at many important festivals. The Hatchet is an intermedial cabaret
based on Fran Levstik's story Martin Krpan from Vrh pri Sveti Trojici. It reinterprets this iconic
story by placing five animators, actors and musicians in the heart of an inn in Notranjska
instead of the former imperial capital.
