Event: Smile to safety
Organizer: Vidra Theater
Location: Zagreb, Vidra
The project “Octopus With an Attitude!” raises awareness among young people about risky behavior and directs them to positive and safe practices in traffic. Young and rebellious people seek authorities and idols in public figures.
The information provided by an idol in a “tame” musical or theatrical environment, in which young people feel safe and comfortable, surpasses all previously used methods. Idols have a greater power to convey important messages and make people comprehend them.
This is precisely why we collaborated with stand-up comedians Zlatan Zuhrić and Tin Sedlar, who adapted the play “Ocat i sin” to incorporate educational messages about traffic safety, thus enabling passive learning and correction of harmful habits among the audience.
