The Emperor and the Tiger

Commissioned by the Liverpool Culture Company for European Capital of Culture 2008. Walk the Plank and Kinetika join forces with Brouhaha and local performers to present a beautiful firework folk story as part of the Carnival Weekend, and the opening of 'Imagine'.

As a giant Tiger paces through the park, fire illuminates costumed carnival dancers and drummers, and firework effects light up the forest. The greedy Emperor wants his taxes, and the people must pay.

An original soundtrack and magical special effects animate this colourful tale of the Emperor, the Wise Man, and the Guardian of the Jungle - before the firework finale lights up the skies.

Please note that the Emperor and the Tiger event contains strobe lighting
