The Puppet Theatre is intended primarily for children. The performances displayed stimulate children's imagination and creativity, arouse their sense of beauty and develop critical thinking skills. Likewise, not only it adequately demonstrates the reality of life and in stils moral values, but also it facilitates mastering the educational contents and correlation in class. The puppeteersin Zadar do not deny their profession, however, they do not perceive puppetry as plain theatrical art but as a creative medium which is in constant need of expansion and questioning its borders, and which strives to unlimited, global theatre with unrestricted opportunities. Their creative vitality is held within the creative ambition and the willingness for the artistic adventure. The puppet itself is a very powerful tool of motivation which eases the process of mastering the educational content, and on the other hand serves as an incentive for every pupil indivdually in the process of socialization. This work demonstrates how pupils respond to a performance when prepared for it, and when not. How they react to it, in other words, how they perceive and understand it if they attended there hearsal in comparison to a complete performance.
