Street theatre and giant puppet company Thingumajig Theatre is creating something special for Thorington this summer.
They will be bringing five of their street theatre and giant puppet acts to be seen together for the first time.
Audiences will meet their interactive walkabout acts such their giant dodo birds and an illuminated barn owl, and see three of their street theatre puppet plays: Kit and Caboodle, Kismat Walla, and their stunning Ghost Caribou featuring two 4-meter tall illuminated caribou puppets.
In Ghost Caribou, giant illuminated creatures, part caribou, part spirit, roam a mystical world after dark. As they gather a crowd, they clear a space to perform their other-worldly ceremony.
With music, song and shadow puppets they tell stories of lost homes, impossible migrations and sees of hope before continuing the journey into their hauntingly beautiful dream-world of the night.
