After the Festival triumph of Faust in 2009 director Silviu Purcărete returns with the Radu Stanca National Theatre of Sibiu, Romania and the world premiere of his version of Gulliver’s Travels.

Irish writer Jonathan Swift’s savage political satire is seen through the eyes of visionary theatre maker Purcărete with an original score by Irish composer Shaun Davey. Driven by Davey's musical journey, Purcărete’s production gathers cultural and social aspects of contemporary society and explores themes of voyage, dream, exile, immigration, emigration, solitude and togetherness.
