El Gran Familia, Fadunito, Catalunya/Spain
A not so ordinary family on a trip through the city. A mother and her children are taking a casual walk in the city. They are not quite ordinary though – they are giants. The children are very boisterous: they play tricks on kids and adults alike, while the mother, with her baby in the XXL baby carriage, tries in vain to restore order. ‘The Big Family’ is an itinerant colorful show without words. Nobody will remain indifferent to it.

Chromosauro by Maschera Viva, (Italy)
A giant Chromosaur is wandering around the crowd! The Chromosaur is a erce, charming creature: 5 meters tall and 7 meters long from head to tail. Vibrantly colourful fabrics cover the dinosaur’s entire skeleton. Its mysterious keeper leads its way, enfolding their steps with suggestive smoke. The Chromosaur lives thanks to the actor, who uses a complex weight and counterweight system to steer it.

Jiddo Hashem and Sama by Mahdi Karera and Caramantran, (Gaza,Palestine/France)
Meet “Jiddo Hashem” and his granddaughter “Sama” two giant puppets inspired by the creations of Mahdi Karera from Gaza. Amidst the ongoing genocidal war, Mahdi brings joy to children of Gaza through puppet shows featuring marionettes he crafts from recycled aid materials—such as tin cans, cardboard, and other discarded items distributed to the people of Gaza. Five of these puppets were miraculously brought out of Gaza to Amman and were featured in an installation at the 2025 Alwan Festival. They are also currently participating in festivals across Spain, sharing the dreams and aspirations of the people of Gaza to live in peace and dignity on their own land. The French theater troupe Caramantran , having encountered Mahdi’s puppets at the 2025 Alwan Festival, were inspired to transform them into giant puppets.
With support from the French Institute, a ten-day workshop was held in Amman, led by the Caramentran Theatre team and involving over 15 artists from Jordan and Palestine. The workshop focused on crafting two puppets, Grandfather Hashem and his granddaughter Sama originally created by Mahdi. The workshop was conducted with remote collaboration and supervision from Mahdi Karera in Gaza. The puppets have since toured various locations and events across Jordan and Palestine, and we hope they will travel the world in the future.
This project was supported by the French Institute and supervised by Harat Adduma and artist @buthainabandora , in collaboration with the Children’s Museum.
