Story Transcript:
Sl: V Ljubljanskem lutkovnem gledališču vlada čarobno vzdušje.
En: In the Ljubljansko lutkovno gledališče (Ljubljana Puppet Theatre), there prevails a magical atmosphere.
Sl: Zlata luč nežno razsvetljuje prostor, medtem ko zrak preplavlja tiha pričakovanja publike.
En: A golden light gently illuminates the space, while the air is filled with the silent anticipation of the audience.
Sl: Za zidovi se sliši šelestenje jesenskega listja, ki ga nosi hladen veter.
En: Behind the walls, the rustling of autumn leaves can be heard, carried by the cold wind.
Sl: Med gosti sta tudi Matej in Katarina, vsak s svojim razlogom, vendar z enako ljubeznijo do umetnosti.
En: Among the guests are also Matej and Katarina, each with their own reason, yet with the same love for art.
Sl: Matej, mladi dramatik, je sramežljiv, a njegove oči vedno zasvetijo, ko govori o zgodbah.
En: Matej, a young playwright, is shy, but his eyes always light up when he talks about stories.
Sl: Dela v gledališču, sanja pa o tem, da bi nekoč napisal svojo igro.
En: He works at the theater, yet dreams of one day writing his own play.
Sl: Danes ga spremlja prijatelj Anže, vesel in družaben mladenič, ki vedno najde način, kako Mateja spraviti iz njegove lupine.
En: Today, he is accompanied by his friend Anže, a cheerful and sociable young man who always finds a way to bring Matej out of his shell.
Sl: Katarina je talentirana grafična oblikovalka.
En: Katarina is a talented graphic designer.
Sl: V gledališče je prišla, da bi našla navdih za svoj novi projekt.
En: She came to the theater to find inspiration for her new project.
Sl: Sedi v zadnji vrsti, občuduje umetnost, ki jo še zdaleč ne vidi kot le igro s figurami, ampak kot živo pripoved.
En: Sitting in the back row, she admires the art, which she sees far beyond just a play with figures but as a living narrative.
Sl: Med predstavo Matej opazi Katarino.
En: During the performance, Matej notices Katarina.
Sl: Njena osredotočenost na dogajanje ga prevzame.
En: Her focus on the unfolding events captivates him.
Sl: Čuti, da bi lahko delila njegov entuziazem do pripovedi in umetnosti.
En: He feels that she could share his enthusiasm for storytelling and art.
Sl: A njegova notranja sramežljivost ga zadržuje.
En: Yet his inner shyness holds him back.
Sl: Med odmorm se Anže obrne k Mateju.
En: During intermission, Anže turns to Matej.
Sl: "Vidiš tisto dekle tam?
En: "Do you see that girl over there?
Sl: Zdi se, da res uživa v predstavi.
En: She seems to really enjoy the performance.
Sl: Pojdi, spoznaj jo.
En: Go on, meet her."
Sl: " Matejev obraz zardi, ko odgovori: "Ne vem, kako bi začel pogovor.
En: Matej's face flushes as he responds, "I don't know how to start a conversation."
Sl: "Ampak Anže, kot vedno, najde način.
En: But Anže, as always, finds a way.
Sl: "Pridi, predstavim te.
En: "Come, I'll introduce you."
Sl: " In preden se Matej zave, že stojita pred Katarino.
En: And before Matej realizes it, they are already standing in front of Katarina.
Sl: "Katarina, to je Matej.
En: "Katarina, this is Matej.
Sl: On je pisatelj tukaj, pravkar končuje svojo novo igro.
En: He's a writer here, just finishing up his new play."
Sl: "Matejeva roka se nekoliko trese, ko se stisne s
