The Giant Women is a trio formed by the Serbian performer and choreographer Dragana Bulut, the English dance artist Gillie Kleiman and the Portuguese choreographer and play writer Lígia Soares through their encounter in the context of the danceWEB 2008 Scholarship Program in Vienna.
The expectation created by the title "The Giant Women present the Greatest Show in Town" becomes an integral component of the project's dramaturgy and its own object of research, conducting a research on the expectation that this title can cause in both the public and the artists.
“The Giant Women present The Greatest Show in Town is a dance performance which promises to be entertaining, virtuosic, and sharp, through beauty, emotion, etcetera.. Whilst showing you the unstopable power of innovation and blindly following trends, the show achieves historical significance and promises the creation of new paradigms for the dance scene of the future. “ The Giant Women
Parody, critique or tragedy about the run after success, it is up to the spectator to say.
“This is a show on how we make garbage out of almost everything as quickly as possible, exposing it as a “problem” or a theory or a thought or a body movement. As it may hurt and still be something to laugh about, if we had the time, the courage or the patience to look closer” Alexander Gerner, Jacaranda - Platform of arts, sciences and politics
