The original Arabic word for giraffe is Zeraffa.
In the Age of Enlightenment, a young giraffe is captured in Africa and sent as a gift from the Pasha of Egypt to the King of France.
Charming people with her big dark eyes, this tall and graceful female became the darling of Paris and the muse of artists and fashion designers in 1826. A type of animal never seen before by the people of France she created quite a stir wherever she went.
This beautifully crafted production is based on the true story of that giraffe’s extraordinary life.
Seamlessly alternating between different styles of puppetry and featuring live music, Z for Giraffe takes us on a mesmerising journey across river, sea and land.
This is an exotic expedition of music and storytelling for everyone!
“It worked on many levels – from the pathos of a forgotten hero, to the belly laugh of a scatological joke. The performers clearly love their craft, and it showed. They have created a satisfying, rewarding and thoroughly engaging show.”
