Meet EKO from the outdoor family spectacle Out of the Deep Blue as he roams Old Market Square.

Out of the Deep Blue by Autin Dance Theatre, is an outdoor physical theatre performance featuring a thirteen-foot tall puppet operated by five puppeteers and a female dancer. This spectacle is designed specifically for family and festival audiences and tells the magical story of EKO, a sea giant who rises from the deep ocean and who encounters, on the shore, a courageous little girl called Violet. The choreography is a larger-than-life pas de deux, which uses contemporary dance theatre and masterful puppeteering as storytelling tools, accompanied by a mesmerising soundscape.

Out of the Deep Blue: Walkabout will take place at 11am and 4pm in Old Market Square with family friendly dance workshops with Autin Dance Theatre at 11:30am and 4:30pm
