pocket GIANTS
a small idea can take flight, gain momentum and grow into a true giantM.6 . 02h00Not all giants are born big. Some start out tiny, made up of delicate details that hold within them a whole world waiting to be set free, and awaiting the right movement to reveal their true strength. Pocket Giants is a puppet-making workshop where the delicacy of movement meets the power of bringing things to life. In this workshop, we start with simple, delicate and precisely measured materials to give form, movement and scale to extraordinary figures. Here, each participant learns to shape and manipulate these small yet mighty beings who, despite their size, have the ability to soar high and take over the entire stage.

small workshop
Puppets, while often associated with childhood, are deeply woven into our collective imagination, history, and tradition. This art form offers an inexhaustible wealth of theatrical experiences, constantly renewing itself through innovative creation and manipulation on the modern stage.It is essential for educators to equip themselves with the specialized knowledge needed to facilitate these experiences. By exploring diverse materials and construction techniques, teachers can provide students with the tools to develop original creative work, transforming the classroom into a laboratory for theatrical discovery and artistic expression.
