This season, the Dubrovnik Summer Festival will premiere The Enchanted Forest, a musical stage piece for children based on eponymous novel by Sunčana Škrinjarić, which left its mark on an entire generation and continues to do so thanks to its contemporary theme. The novel explores the problems of ecology and brings into focus community as the basis of society, while the stage adaptation also includes intertwining of the real and fantasy world, relying on music, songs and choir.
