– A brief description of the performance you can offer for this event:
While cleaning, a janitor unwittingly awakens a sleeping giant. A troupe of skilled entertainers joins forces to tire out the giant and put it back to sleep.
Detailed Description:
The scene opens with a janitor sweeping the floor, oblivious to the giant resting nearby. Another character emerges, urging the janitor to be quiet, but it’s too late—the giant wakes up and lifts the janitor into the air.
The giant’s caretakers appear, and together with the janitor’s bumbling assistance, they perform high-energy acrobatic acts to exhaust the giant. Some acts even involve the giant lifting performers into the air.
As the show progresses, the giant becomes entertained and weary. Finally, the janitor gently tucks the giant back to sleep and quietly exits, leaving his newfound friends behind.
The show cleverly resets itself, playing with the “shhh” theme. When the audience applauds at the end, it continues briefly before being asked to “Shhhhh…” to avoid waking the giant with their applause.
