Time: 8.00 pm

Entrance fee: 18,00 - 23,00 €

Piaf Edith Piaf is a performance that has stood the test of time for more than two decades and has become one of those rare theatre productions whose life far exceeds the usual stage run. It was created through the enthusiasm of a young creative team, without major production resources, but with a strong artistic energy that shaped a direct, emotional and timeless performance.

At its centre is the remarkable musical and theatrical interpretation of Vesna Pernarčič Žunić, who brings Edith Piaf to life through song and acting. She is accompanied on piano by Joži Šalej, and over the years the production has toured extensively and played to sold-out audiences. Vesna Pernarčič Žunić also received the Borštnik Award for Best Actress for her performance.
