Traditional carnival costumes made from waste materials ECO PARTYECO PARTY
Kurent or Korant is the most famous traditional carnival figure in Slovenia. Traditionally, the Kurent's outfit used to be reserved only to unmarried men, but nowadays Kurent-Korant can be as well married men as children and women. There are two types of Kurent-Korant: the so-called »feathery« and the »horned« one. Kurent wears sheep skin coat, around its waist hangs a chain with huge bells, heavy boots and gaiters protect feet. On his head is a dreadful masque decorated with feathers, horns and ribbons made of colourful silk paper, a wooden club is normally carried in the left hand.

Our Kurents were made of waste materials: newspapers, boxes, cartons,...
They came out wonderful, didn’t they?
We had a lot of fun that day...
