Musical-theatre play: The Enchanted Forest

Sunčana Škrinjarić’s The Enchanted Forest

The Enchanted Forest, a beloved Croatian novel and cartoon, tells of a painter who discovers a magical forest. He meets animals with human traits, revealing themes of community and ecology. The story highlights the importance of nature in uniting diverse beings and reconnecting us with ourselves.

The forest’s enchantment comes from talking animals, an ancient prophecy, and a special paintbrush. It reminds us that we can preserve nature’s magic by caring for our environment and each other.
