About the Show

A spectacle, a ceremony, a procession – Menagerie is community derived theatre and play with a gentle giant, spanning the length of the 2022 New Annual Festival! Throughout the festival, participants are invited to help Curious Legends create Menagerie – What kind of creature are you? Menagerie is a new, interactive community performance from Curious Legends, commissioned for the 2022 New Annual Festival. Across 4 making workshops, festival-goers of all ages are invited to help create our Gentle Giant – a towering, illuminated puppet with a pulsating heart. Participants from the Well performance will also work on a cumulative artwork that will form part of the giant! Then, on the last day of the festival, children and their adults are invited to a final community celebration, where they form part of the Menagerie. Our Gentle Giant – resplendent with decorations and a new, luminescent skin – will join participants to lead the celebration in a sea of colourful chaos. This is Menagerie – the audience immersed in life, light, sound, and colour!
