After strolling through different cities of the world, in the beautiful streets of Mérida, the Giant of La Fura dels Baus will wake up. A street show that will amaze the audience and immerse them through a journey along Paseo Montejo in a magical dance between reality and imagination.

The structure of this great puppet will come to life and will attract the audience with its magnitude and its movements skillfully handled by its puppeteers by means of strings. The Giant creates an indescribable synergy and becomes a link between its manipulators and the audience, in an interactive experience involving anyone who witnesses it.

Live music by the Batucada of the Centro Cultural del Sur (CCSur) will accompany its journey enhancing this great visual experience and giving a festive touch to this magical atmosphere that will transform the ordinary streets into a dream scenario.

This is not just a street show, it is a celebration of creativity, human connection and the capacity of imagination to transform the ordinary into something extraordinary. An artistic proposal that will linger in the retina of the city of Mérida and leave a mark in your heart.
