The Puppet play The Stolen Sun, of the City Puppet Theater of Split is also a master’s exam in puppetry performed by Siniša Novković under the mentorship of doc.art Hrvoje Seršić at the Art Academy in Osijek, at the Department of Theater Art, acting and puppetry. This graduation thesis explores the process of creating a play with an emphasis on the character named Zec and the development of his emotions and character that range from one extremity to another. The beginning is marked by notes on the author, the content of the story itself and the originally sad ending that the director decided to make into a happy one. What follows is a description of the creative process itself, the relationship between the director and the actor, and the creation of a work atmosphere achieved through the compilation of the scenes It is important to add that only natural materials, except for the crocodile puppet, were used for the production of puppets and scenography. The last part takes note of the animation of the Zec doll, and how significant the atmosphere and music are for the performance. Finally, a conclusion is drawn that the actor and the puppeteer enrich their experiences, knowledge and skills with each new show, something that is best achieved through intense work on the role, by expressing their ideas and sharing suggestions, by communicating and exchanging opinions with colleagues, and finally by striving to maintain the level of energy that creates a positive working environment.
