A family of giraffes roams the city, accompanied by musicians who create a dreamlike and wild atmosphere with their instruments.
Spectacular and eye-catching, they move in silence, communicating and connecting with the public they encounter, often surprising them.
Through the curious and innocent gaze of this giraffe family, we discover a new way of seeing and experiencing the city—or any other space.
A delicate and elegant proposal that invites us to view the urban landscape from a fresh perspective.
It can be presented as a street parade or through site-specific interventions within a previously agreed time frame. It can also take place indoors, requiring a minimum ceiling height of 4 meters.
Girafes has been seen across Spain in countless festivals and street events since its premiere in 2002, as well as in festivals in Norway, Costa Rica, South Korea, France, Italy, Portugal, Venezuela, Singapore, and many more.
“Magical and spectacular. The three giraffes fascinate wherever they go, and children are mesmerized by their closeness. In their playful interaction with the audience, they radiate charm and tenderness.”
Ferran Baile | Crítico teatral | Festival FETEN 2014
“(…) To reach people’s hearts with such precision, to transform gazes, to change attitudes and to awaken, without words most of all, reactions of unimaginable tenderness.”
