Dramatic staging of croatian eschatological traditions

U ovom radu je predstavljen sam pojam usmene predaje odnosno demonoloških i mitskih predaja kao posebnog žanra usmene književnosti, te kako ih kroz različite scenske izraze možemo približiti djeci rane i predškolske dobi. U ovom radu su spomenute predaje koje su već zapisane, ali su se prikazale na način blizak djeci. Koliko god nekad tradicijske priče budu čisti plod ljudske mašte, svejedno bi trebali njegovati kulturni identitet svog naroda. U središtu je ovog rada način na koji djeci približiti tradicijska kazivanja pomoću dramskog uprizorenja. Razgovorom s djecom o baštinskim vrijednostima, pripovijedanjem ili dramatizacijom tradicijske priče potičemo kreativne aktivnosti kod djece rane i predškolske dobi. Ne bismo smjeli dozvoliti da se tradicijske vrijednosti, poput kazivanja predaja, bajki, basni i legendi zaborave i zanemare. Naime, upoznavanje djece s narodnim običajima i kulturom doprinosi razvoju njihovog identiteta i osjećaja pripadnosti.This paper presents the very concept of oral tradition, i.e., demonological and mythical traditions as a special genre of oral literature, and how we can bring them closer to children of early and preschool age through various stage expressions. This paper features the traditions that have already been written but are presented in a way close to children. As much as traditional stories are sometimes the pure figment of the human imagination, they should still nurture the cultural identity of their people. The aim of this paper is to bring children closer to traditional narratives through dramatic staging. By talking to children about heritage values, telling or dramatizing a traditional story, we encourage creative activities in children of early and preschool age. We should not allow traditional values, such as telling traditions, fairy tales, fables and legends, to be forgotten and ignored. Namely, introducing children to their customs and culture contributes to the development of their identity and sense of belonging
