Puppets
Acts on Stilts
Walk act

May Mareterra, Altamira and Akvaeria watch over you.
Once upon a time, long before humans divided the water and the earth, three Guardians wandered between the worlds. High above the horizon they moved—travelers of wind and silence.
The performance brings this myth to life with stilt walkers up to 5 meters tall, embodying a fragile balance between humans and nature.
The artists are from Belgium
