Standing on the Shoulders of Giants
What it is
Fresh from Unity’s Up Next Fest 2026, ‘Standing on the Shoulders of Giants’ is a semi-autobiographical, one-man show about a boy, his dad, and the enigmatic man trawling the chasm between them.
Told through playful, tender storytelling and expressive movement, the show balances humour and darkness to explore grief, radicalisation and queer inheritance. In the fragile spaces between childhood and adulthood, what blooms?
Created by Isaac Nixon and Angelina Moana.
Performed by Isaac Nixon.
