The Fairy Tales of “Aunt” Ľudmila Podjavorinská
The fairy tales of “Aunt” Ľudmila Podjavorinská belong among the most beloved works for children.
The dramatization of the fairy tale Čin-Čin takes the audience into a bird world that closely resembles the human one. It is full of humor, poetry, and songs, while also offering children valuable life lessons.
The carefree sparrow Čimo and his beloved Čin-Čin search for their place in the world and dream of a happy home. Along the way, they face various challenges, but their greatest obstacle turns out to be their own laziness and comfort-seeking. Gradually, they learn responsibility and discover the value of love, friendship, diligence, and home.
