Based on the classic book by Jonathan Swift.
After his boat was capsized in the sea, Gulliver finds himself at the shores of Lilliput: a country of little people with great wishes. For the Lilliputs, Gulliver is a giant, omnipotent, and certainly can fulfill all their wishes. Gulliver tries to behave as a polite guest, and to satisfy the small Lilliputs. The performance combines acting with the use of models, mechanical toys, tiny machines, puppets and film. The theatrical language, rich and unique, creates an intimate, surprising experience, full of imagination.
can be performed in French, or with simultanous tranlation to local language

"Jack Shvili, the only actor on stage next to the little Lilliputs - wooden puppets made with great skill - personifies Gulliver with impressive professionalism. ... The rich and unique theatrical language created an intimate, surprising and imaginative experience." (translation). - Lital Dadon, "To Grow Up - The Family Network" ("Ligdol") website, August 7, 2007.
"The show is presented in a fascinating language, which is understood by the little children without loosing the liguistic beauty that adults can enjoy from... The acting of Jack Shvili is wonderful.... The little children are fascinated by the plot, the bigger ones are impressed by the mechanics and enjoy the acting, and the adults walk out from this excellent show with a lot to think about" (translation). - Theater Forum critique, y-net website, August 6, 2007.
