Even if the story of this giant is part of the collective imagination, but we don’t know the story written by Jonathan Swift in 1726 so well. For Valérie Lesort, who directs the show, it’s a real political satyr, but the theme remains relevant in 2022. It’s actually a senseless war between big endians and little endians over the egg.
On stage, hybrid puppets, characters who have the human faces of actors with the bodies of puppets. In the play, Gulliver is of normal height and all the other characters are embodied by these 50 cm tall puppets. Women were also added to the original story which did not include any.
The show is recommended for children from 7 years old, but depending on the age the reading will be different, including for adults.
