An exotic expedition of beautiful puppetry and storytelling for everyone!
Based on the true story of Zeraffa, a little Giraffe, and her extraordinary journey, this production seamlessly alternates between different styles of puppetry.
In 1826 the Pasha of Egypt captured a young giraffe and sent her as a gift to impress the King of France.
The people of France had never seen a giraffe before and she created quite a stir wherever she went. Charming people with her big dark eyes, this tall and graceful female became the darling of Paris and the muse of artists and fashion designers.
