Building giants is always an exciting challenge, allowing us to broaden our horizons and reveal the impact of large scale. We will explore the affective figures of the Mar~Marionetas festival — its mascots — giving them the poetic dimension they have always possessed.
The proposed challenge is to build some of these figures and put them on display, as well as holding an exhibition abroad through a public performance.
