Gulliver's Travels

Theatre and Physical Theatre • Puppetry

Australian Premiere

Gulliver was extraordinary; A renowned and enigmatic journalist, telling tales of strange and undiscovered corners of the globe and garnering worldwide attention. Journeying from the tiny towers of Liliput to the looming giants of Brobdignag, Familia de la Noche unravel the true story of Gulliver's Travels and the reality of a woman living in a man's world.

Using their highly visual style and pulling from their expertise in film, puppetry and story-telling, Familia de la Noche have created a contemporary, hilarious and heart-rending take on the Jonathan Swift classic.

A thoroughly enjoyable hour of theatre... A lively mix of puppetry and excellent character acting – what’s not to like? - Caleb Bond, The Advertiser
It’s lots of good fun with a lovely literary bent. - Samela Harris, The Barefoot Review
a combination of live actors, puppets, costumes and shadow puppets, along with the lighting and sound, everything together is enthralling. - Janine Spearpoint, The Clothesline
