Meet Eko, a 13-foot Sea Giant brought to life by five world-class puppeteers. The towering heart of Autin Dance Theatre’s acclaimed Out of the Deep Blue, Eko rises from the depths to inspire awe and wonder wherever he drifts. 

This powerful outdoor walkabout blends physical theatre and puppetry to share a poignant story of climate emergency, connection, and hope. Created for families and festival audiences, Eko’s expressive movement and colossal presence spark unforgettable moments of interaction and discovery.

The much-loved Eko (Out of the Deep Blue) returned to animate campus once again for the University’s Festival of Ideas – the spectacular sea giant skilfully interacted with the activities and provided an impressive, Instagrammable talking point! Thank you to the whole team for another wonderful performance!

It was a joy working with Autin Dance Theatre again and witnessing an enraptured audience following Eko's movements around the area. Eko was quite literally stopping the traffic around Sloane Square as everyone slowed down and crowds gathered to enjoy this very special moment at the festival, it was a true highlight!
