Gulliver’s Travels

A family show inspired by a famous fantastic travelogue, combining puppetry, masks, drama, and musical theatre.

There is the island of Lilliput, where the inhabitants are smaller than an egg. There is the land of giants, Brobdingnag, where rats are as dangerous as saber-toothed tigers. There is the flying island of Laputa, where people communicate through music. And there is even an uncharted island of the Houyhnhnms, where horses are wiser and nobler than humans.

In a forgotten city, in an apartment resembling a box, and in a hideout that looks like a tiny case, a father and his seven-year-old son set off on an adventure to find the happiness they so desperately seek. Both are adventurers as brave as Gulliver himself.

The production is suitable for young audiences aged 8 and up.
