Ancient Giants

Inspirate
Sat 25 - Sun 26 May 2024

Gods and Demons from ancient stories come to life in this family friendly street theatre show that is an exciting fusion of puppetry, martial arts, dance and storytelling.

Shanti, a young girl who is fascinated with stories told by her parents and grandparents, imagines a battle between Hanuman and Ravana; a complex struggle between good and evil. The encounter is brought to life by two 12ft puppets as they interact with audiences and make their way to a dramatic final confrontation.

Ancient Giants is supported by Without Walls and co-commissioned by Brighton Festival and Just So Festival. The R&D for Ancient Giants was supported by Blueprint: Without Walls R&D Investment Fund. Presented with Crawley Borough Council.

Brighton Festival is part of Without Walls, a network of organisations bringing innovative outdoor arts to towns and cities across England. Find out more on withoutwalls.uk.com.
