Is your Giant or Beast still active or has it retired?
Still active
Description: Created by Thingumajig Theatre. Ghost Caribou are part of a nighttime street theatre act.
Is there is a folktale connected to your Giant or Beast? In Ghost Caribou, Thingumajig Theatre’s night-time street act, 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.
What Was the First Event the Giant / Beast Attended? Bournemouth Arts by the Sea Festival
