In order to find the ‘fonoll mari’ that will save papa, Joan and Toni are forced to confront the giant of Es Vedrà himself, and their deepest fears.

The Giant of Es Vedrà features classic rod puppets, large scale puppetry, paper theatre elements and ‘crankie’ (scrolling panorama) sequence. It is performed in english and lasts approximately 40 minutes.
