One Man Zoo
A friendly giraffe disrupts everyday life
About the Show
A giraffe has been spotted in town, popping out of a backpack.
Curious & cheeky, she meets whoever crosses her path: children, commuters, people in suits and people living in the street, people in a hurry—and people who thought they were in a hurry.
Some encounters last a moment. Others turn into games, unexpected friendships or small adventures. Each meeting becomes its own little piece of theatre.
Then, just as suddenly, she disappears into the backpack again, and viewers are left wondering: Was there really a giraffe here a moment ago? Did she just eat my food? And who really owns public space and belongs in the city?
