Eko is back – don't miss the chance to meet our favourite giant puppet!
Returning to campus for the Festival of Ideas, Out of the Deep Blue is an outdoor physical theatre performance featuring a 13-foot tall puppet called Eko, operated by 5 puppeteers and a female dancer from the amazing Autin Dance Theatre.
The spectacle – which tells the magical story of Eko, a sea giant who rises from the deep ocean – uses contemporary dance theatre and masterful puppeteering as storytelling tools, accompanied by a mesmerising soundscape.
