Kirkcaldy
set for spectacular invasion of the Giants!
KTCM’s
efforts to provide the town centre with a welcome boost were revealed
this week a new event for Kirkcaldy Town Centre taking place on
Saturday 21st June 2008 which is set to make the town centre “buzz”
with activity.
Building
on previous innovative events brought to the town centre (giant
butterflies, ostriches and the ant orchestra), KTCM has attracted
quite probably the most spectacular array of street theatre acts
to the town. Three separate giant acts will be in Kirkcaldy High
Street, interacting and entertaining the crowds and shopping public.
Dubbed the “Mini Giant Day”, the acts include:
•
Caterpillar - a 4 metre wide x 5metre high x10metre long inflatable
puppet operated by ten performers using cold air parading through
the town centre
• Spanish style street theatre procession including the
return of the giant Drumming Ants and a selection of characters
influenced by Salvador Dali. This will feature the Dancing Giants
(Dali and Gala) which are puppets the size of a house and great
dancers!
Schedule

noon till 12.45pm - Caterpillar parade
2pm

Varu, Kirkcaldy Town Centre Manager, said,
“We
have searched long and hard to bring the people of Kirkcaldy and
visitors the most amazing mini-festival which will undoubtedly
liven up Kirkcaldy Town Centre. These street theatre acts have
performed across Europe at places like Nice Carnival and Edinburgh
Hogmanay, and it’s fantastic that we have brought them here.
People of all ages will be astounded at the sheer size and scale
of these monster puppets and hopefully get a huge deal of enjoyment
from them. I have to say – these simply have to be seen
to be believed!”
