The show, performed by the Ljubljana Puppet Theatre, is intended for children above the age of 12, young people and adults. The puppet show Doctor Faust is based on a famous 1938 production of Goethe's Faust conceived by Milan Klemenčič, the founding father of Slovenian puppetry. The 1938 production, performed in front of an audience made up only of Klemenčič's family and friends, is considered to be a treasure of Slovenian puppetry history. In 1982, a modernized version of the show was staged by the Ljubljana Puppet Theatre. The puppet show is held in Slovene with English subtitles.
