Shadow of Giants is about the struggle over one redwood tree. It is a
struggle with international ramifications, a struggle that involves
tree-sitters, ghosts and mythology. An athletic ensemble of five
actors portrays the ongoing conflict between environmentalists
desperately fighting to preserve the last of the ancient forests, and
the big timber companies who own them. It's a story of a divided
community, greed, hope, and power, told through dynamic physical
theatre.

Based in a former logging town on California's north coast, the
Dell'Arte Company is an artist-managed professional touring company
with a long history of creating original work that is inspired by
their region. This ongoing ensemble of artists has created more than
35 award-winning, original works of theatre since 1977, and has
toured with acclaim to international festivals. Dell'Arte
International is the United States center for the development,
exploration, training, creation and performance of the physical
theatre traditions and their contemporary applications. For more
