GIANT! - RWCMD 2023
The Cartwheeling Blemmyes.
A whimsical play on childish behaviours. Combining the medieval children’s past times of cartwheeling and traditional spinning hoops with the medieval folklore of the Blemmyes. These puppets, made of blue foam, hessian and hula-hoops, acted as transitions between scenes, keeping the audience entertained.
