A Nordic tale for 3+ about our relationship to nature, friendship and the places we call home.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

‘The Giant’ is a heartfelt environmental tale, a puppet show that unfolds from a suitcase. Inspired by a Swedish folk tale, its world is inhabited by shapeshifting giants who transform the land, and powerful trolls who control the sea. <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Through storytelling, an original soundtrack and a variety of toy theatre and puppetry techniques, the audiences are invited on a journey through geological time to witness the ever-changing landscape of a fjord and ponder how we, humans, relate to the Earth, where we belong and how we can feel more connected to one another.<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
