The work of the INK Drama and Dance Studio has been based on systematic youth theater education since its inception. It enables its members to get acquainted with basic theatrical skills and gives them space for creative work and personal expression.

The dance department of studio INK particularly nurtures and develops dance among young people and dance as an important branch of theater. The goal is to bring students closer to the art of dance and prepare them for what awaits them in further professional dance education if it is their desire and ambition. Drama and Dance Studio INK operates within the ISTRIAN NATIONAL THEATER – Pula City Theater.

This is a show in the form of a clown cabaret for the whole family, in which, with all the best intentions, something always goes wrong…

The play is played by two different clowns, that is, in clown language, “Red Clown” and “White Clown”. The White Clown – Monsieur Jules is more reasonable, determined and rational, ie “the one with both feet on the ground” and who seeks to reason, calm down and lead the Red Clown – the clown Ludek, who is chaotic in nature, restless, restless, deconcentrated, playful, irresponsible and who teases and obstructs White every now and then. In continuous interaction and interaction with the audience, clowns perform juggling, music, magic, slapstick and acrobalance acts.

Nikola Dabac and Zoran Vukić have been involved in acting and music for most of their working lives. For many years they have been collaborating with each other through various projects. In the Association Antuntun they have joint plays Between Extremes (2011) and The Story That Holds Up (2014) which they successfully perform in theaters, festivals and various events, but also in schools and kindergartens. By the way, these two are also known as clown doctors. They perform on the street, in hospitals where they make little patients laugh, and sometimes also in the theatre. We suspect that they are not only dealing with dispelling boredom, but also dispelling worries and sadness.

Zero is a puppet show that takes you on the life adventure of a special number in search of her place in the sun. This singing, educational story teaches us to accept others and ourselves.

At the same time, it empowers them to understand diversity and their own identity, which raises mathematical, social and cultural issues.

A fairy tale that takes us way back – from our first experience of rhythm (Mom’s heart in the womb), to the great pleasure of dancing and singing.
