Gita and the Hidden World, created for children aged eighteen months to five years, tells the story of a little girl named Gita who lives on a unique island. She plays, laughs, and delights in the world around her. However, sometimes she feels things she cannot quite describe or name, unaware of their purpose. She has never ventured far from her home, and her island is vast. Moved by curiosity and determined to learn more about the world around her and the unfamiliar emotions stirring within, Gita sets off on a journey. Along the way, she encounters many fascinating creatures and marvels of her island, but most importantly, she comes to know and understand the emotions she seeks.

This adventure is accompanied by the music of Borna Erceg, performed by a small orchestra, piano, and soloists from the Opera of the Croatian National Theatre in Zagreb. This co-production with Mala scena Theatre from Zagreb is directed by Buga Marija Šimić Milošev.
