Gulliver
Theatre

Description
Description
Dr Gulliver is washed ashore after a shipwreck and awakens to find he has been taken prisoner by a group of tiny people who feed him with thumb-sized grilled meat. When Gulliver stops a senseless war caused by eggs, he becomes a hero in the land of Lilliput. Later, he ventures into Brobdingnag, land of the giants, where he is toyed with like a grasshopper. How can Gulliver escape?
Put together by Pushkin Prize winner Catherine Obraztsov (Sergei Obraztsov’s granddaughter) and People’s Artist of Russia Sergey Alimov, the show features more than 50 puppets, ranging from palm size to three metres, alongside costume character performers and veteran actors. The spectacular stage design, including humorous props such as a gigantic food conveyor belt, an insect and a lemon, is wonderfully combined with projection, music and dance to bring the wacky characters in the Jonathan Swift classic, Gulliver’s Travels, to life.
Entertaining, carnival-like puppet theatre that not only stimulates children’s imagination but their passion for literature too.
