Climate change brought a GIANT _ iceberg to Kranj in the summer days, a mysterious creature that is lonely and lost in a vast landscape. He feels like a stranger. With the dancers, we froze him in time and space.
The giant is made from recycled plastic bags and is "sewn" together from different parts and filled with air.
He is raising awareness of plastics and, through the metaphor of the iceberg and its stories, offers an entry into current topics of ecology and mutual trust.
