Galtük, The Land of Dreams
A unique extravaganza which ranks alongside any great Walt Disney or Cirque du Soleil production.
Thessaloniki Concert Hall, in Greece, included Galtük, The Land of Dreams in its December 2016 programme.
The venue’s listing describes a show that brings together circus magic, dance, theatre, pantomime, special effects, costumes and set design, with a cast of 25 artists from Spain, Italy, Mexico and Argentina. The story follows a little girl guided through Galtük, the land of dreams, by the imaginary creatures who live there: acrobatic hippos, dancing flamingos, playful zebras and giant fish.
The text highlights the use of animatronic characters, an innovation which, according to the venue, earned the company the Roncalli Award in 2011.
