Sea Odyssey was a massive piece of street theatre created to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic. There are three characters in this story, each one a giant Puppet. Over the course of three days the uncle, girl and dog wander the streets of Liverpool looking for one another. The uncle is bringing news of the Titanic’s sinking to the girl who’s father was on the ship. The little girl giant was 30ft tall and the uncle was 50ft tall. Each giant is controlled with motors, lines and as many as 31 human puppeteers called Lilliputians. Following the giants around were many large props as well as live music. This was not the first project set in Liverpool to include giants walking around the city La Princesse. Sea Odyssey was created by a french street theatre company called Royal de Luxe who have done other works of this type.
