Ancient Giants

by Inspirate

Walk with ancient giants!

Inspired by the ancient South Asian tales she’s heard throughout her childhood, a young girl called Shanti imagines an epic battle between Hanuman the Monkey God and Ravana the Demon King.

This extraordinary encounter is brought to life through an exciting fusion of large scale puppetry, dance and martial arts.

As Shanti imagines this battle taking place, she explores her own strength and courage, and the complex struggle between good, evil, honour and loyalty.

Hanuman and Ravana are majestically depicted in this dynamic pop up performance, an interpretation that’s been inspired by a pivotal moment in the original Ramayana tale, when these two powerful characters meet and face each other.

Join these 10ft puppets as they interact with the audience during a walkabout, and make their way to confront each other in a dramatic finale.
