Jasminka Petrović belongs to that rare species of dragon-hearted writers—those who love autumn, the sea, and the wind. When she writes, she’s as gentle and attentive as a mother. Her stories brim with irresistible imagination. She’s written about a button, about happiness, about a summer when she learned to fly, about the scariest day of her life, about manners, school, and Giga who creates the sea. She’s also written about the power of reading—and about sex for beginners, which inspired a successful stage adaptation at our very own theatre.
But writing is only part of what Jasminka does. She engages in countless other creative pursuits, always eager to talk, to understand, and to connect. She believes that imagination, play, and laughter are essential for everyone—no matter their age.
This gathering at the Youth Theatre is a chance to awaken our imaginations together.
An Afternoon with Jasminka Petrović begins at 1 PM.
Admission is free.
