Join Slingsby’s journey creating The Giant’s Garden and follow their path to making their most ambitious project.
Over a span of three years, Slingsby is creating a new flat-pack theatre to travel the world sustainably with a triptych of plays under the banner A Concise Compendium of Wonder. Adelaide Festival audiences are invited to experience their second work-in-progress with a development performance of The Giant’s Garden (following The Tree of Light in 2024).
Ursula Dubosarsky’s reimagining of Oscar Wilde’s The Selfish Giant is set in the mid-1700s. Perpetual winter descends upon a giant’s garden after playful children are shut out by a massive wall. The control and ownership of land and nature is examined, alongside the power of nature through the seasons. We are reminded of the importance of play and the value of a child’s perspective.
