Aleksa in Wonderland is a witty, action fairytale. It is a completely original story that has nothing to do with the famous Alice. That's why the wonders in thè performance are not of a technical nature in the form of flying, transformation, increasing and decreasing in size. No ratti ing creatures emerge here.The main wonder is that Chudilebon is a country that produces fairytaies.The King of this country writes them down in his Golden Book, which is the mother of all the fairytales on the planet. Since all fairytales teach children basic human valúes, this play raises the questions and gives answers about thè Fate and thè Meaning of Life. The action Starts in Beigrade, today. Aleksa is a random participant of a competition game on TV, who falls into the parallel wonderland, believing that it is all just candid camera. When he realizes what that is all about, it's too late. He cannot go back. In his attempts to come backhome, Aleksa goesthrough a series of complexsituations, with the mandatoryfailing in love in the Princess. He is dragged into thè court intrigues and put in a Situation to make a choice, without knowing who is good, and who is not good.

Bottom line: The duty of each one of us individually is tobe better and betten Only in that way can we ensure that one day all people on the earth will be good. And so:"Be better"...

This is the performance for big kids and small adults. It lasts one hour and about fifteen minutes.

"... The place where love is being affirmed from a very early age - That is Little Theatre Puz. And when your children grow up, stop by there to see whether a part of you is still left, whether you still know how to play and be friends. Despite everythinglThe latest and the best (even according to him is the best) script by Branko Milicevic, directed by Slobodanka Aleksic, is a breakthrough into the new wonders, in terms of acting, in visual terms, in any terms. From thè beginning to thè end, this performance keeps thè audience in joyful readiness, incites laughter of various genres. When asked whether he is now flirting with children, the famous Kockica answers: No! No! And, really: as opposed to the adult territory where, unfortunately, everything is reduced to two activities, which is: being evil and defending oneself from evii, Puz remains an oasis for practicing goodness and joys of countless kinds..."(Branka Krilovic)

"... The special attraction of new Kockica's fairytale creation is an original idea that the kingdom of Chudilebon is actually a factory for production of fairytales. And that not in thè wake, but in a dream! The King writes them down into the Golden Book, those fairyiike dreams, and then they come true...The Golden Book is your good, unspoiledjustsoul of a child in which there is no room for wrong feelings. Choosing the right feeling, that means, according to Kockica, to follow your heart, which glows in the dark... And the fairytale, it is like a huge, giantTV series, which lasts not only as long as your fife, but also records centuries for future generations..." (Dragana Boskovic)
