Under the artistic direction of the French collective of
artists Les Grandes Personnes, a team of artists and
craftsmen from Orange Farm created and produced four
giant puppets featuring a mother, a father, a daughter
and a son, a mask of a grandmother and a baby puppet.
During the residency project which took place at the
Orange Farm Multi Purpose Complex in August this year,
the collective also focused on the staging, acting and
handling of these magnificent creations. To the delight
of audiences, the family of giants went on to parade in
Orange Farm, Cape Town, Pretoria, and Johannesburg.
This experience created such interest and enthusiasm
amongst the South African artists that the group SA
G.U.R.U. was created to take the family of puppets to
many more streets and stages!
Supported by the French Embassy and the French Institute of South Africa |
