Sense of Unity - Inside Out Dorset Comes to Weymouth

As dusk falls, follow a parade through Weymouth and discover the puppets of baby Dundu and the gentle giant Dundu. Will they find each other? Will they get on?

You’ll hear rhythms and sounds from across the globe. German company, Dundu features West African Kora (a type of harp), while UK-based Worldbeaters bring their dynamic drumming to the performance.

Join the procession in search of the puppets. Lit from the inside, admire the giant puppet’s transparent flexible body as it illuminates against the dark evening sky. Five skilled puppeteers breathe life into the figures as they interact with you. Enjoy dynamic beats and high-energy music. The soundtrack for the evening comes from unique LED-lit drums.

Two performances only: Friday 24 September and Saturday 25 September

Friday 24 Sept : Start at Swannery Car Park, opposite Palm House, end at Jubilee Clock Tower
