Autin Dance Theatre (GB) Out of the Deep Blue
A large-scale outdoor performance featuring a sea giant puppet and a contemporary dancer, inspired by the themes of the climate emergency and the biodiversity crisis. The performance is in two-parts: a 25-minute promenade of the giant puppet interacting with the location, environment, architecture and the audience, and a 25-minute dance theatre duet located at a set performance space (traditionally the walkabout leads to static show). Eko the giant, who lives in the sea, comes onto the land to tell Violet, a school girl, that she is strong and brave enough to make a difference in the world. WALKABOUT: Eko searches for Violet around the town of the festival, before making his way to the performance site. He interacts with people, the surround nature, animals, landmarks and shops.
