The Three Little Pigs at Mali Bembo in Bale

Wednesday, 22.07.2026. 21:00. h

At Mali Bembo in Bale, The Three Little Pigs is performed as a children’s play by Kazališna družina Lectirum based on a folk tale.

The Three Little Pigs is performed on Tomaso Bembo Square as part of the children’s programme of the 6th Bembo Fest. The text, based on a folk tale, was written by Mladen Čutura, who also directs the performance; the Bale cast lists Ksenija Pajić, Natalija Đorđević, Arijan Gračić and Mladen Čutura.

A familiar story played with children

The Three Little Pigs belongs to the stories children recognise quickly: three brothers, three houses, a wolf who tests their ingenuity and an ending in which fear turns into a lesson. Lectirum’s staging does not rely only on the familiar plot, but on the actors’ communication with the youngest audience. In this version, the folk tale gains the rhythm of a live stage: children follow the building of the houses, notice the difference between haste and patience, laugh at the wolf and understand why togetherness becomes more important than individual cleverness. Mladen Čutura, who wrote the adaptation and directs the play, shapes the tale as theatre in which storytelling, play and direct contact with the audience carry the action, so the well-known story becomes a stage encounter rather than a simple retelling.

Lectirum on the square in the old town

Kazališna družina Lectirum comes to Bale with a cast that includes Ksenija Pajić, Natalija Đorđević, Arijan Gračić and Mladen Čutura. On Tomaso Bembo Square, parents and children can stay together in the centre of town, while the play keeps the clarity of a fairy tale that works best when the story is seen and heard up close.

Arriving with children

Tomaso Bembo Square is in the old centre of Bale. When arriving with children, it is sensible to come earlier, especially if you need to find parking and walk to the square before the play begins.
