Big Bang
The French master giant puppeteers return with their new BIG SHOW which tells the story of the Universe and its passage through time from the very beginning with the BIG BANG.
Time as the theme of the show materialized by the minute hand of a clock, accelerating or slowing down during the scenes over 14 billions years.
Unidentified Flying Objects roam without rhyme or reason and then they are going slowly in the centre. A human totem rises : at the top : a head : the Eye ! A clock starts up backwards.

Joyous Jamboree
Two become four as Val and Babs are joined by “Wendy Willing” and “Mable Able”.
Performed by Swank, Joyous Jamboree is a fully interactive Camp installation – complete with bivouacs, flagpoles and of course, the camp fire for good old sing songs. Join the pack in their natural habitat, learn skills you never knew you needed, and play silly games for the chance to win an exciting range of new badges!

The Iron Man
Graeae presents The Iron Man by Ted Hughes adapted for Graeae by Paul Sirett and co-directed by Jenny Sealey and Amit Sharma
The unexpected arrival of the towering Iron Man casts a shadow of fear across a small farm community. But when an enormous dragon from outer-space threatens to annihilate the planet, it is the Iron Man who comes to the rescue. Ted Hughes’ classic modern fable is brought to life through a colossal iron puppet, live and recorded soundscapes and a compelling mix of words, sign language and audio descriptive narrative.
Winner of the Latest 7 Award for Best Children’s Show at The Brighton Festival 2011 and three NNFEST Children Choice Awards, at the Norfolk & Norwich Festival 2011.
