Eko’s Farewell

Created in 2021, Out of the Deep Blue has toured extensively across the UK and internationally, visiting over 100 festivals and performing to more than 900,000 audience members worldwide. This awe-inspiring Giant Puppet has become a true symbol of Autin Dance Theatre, captivating audiences with its powerful storytelling and stunning visual presence.

Featuring themes of the climate emergency and the biodiversity crisis, Out of the Deep Blue has sparked conversations, inspired communities, and left a lasting impression everywhere it has travelled. As we bring our UK tour to a close, we want to thank everyone who has joined us on this unforgettable journey. 💙

Although the full show has now completed its UK tour, this isn’t goodbye just yet! You might still spot Eko, the Sea Giant, popping up for surprise walkabouts across the country to see how you’ve been doing. And in 2026, the full production will continue its international journey, reaching new audiences around the globe. 🌍

🗓️ Last tour dates to catch in 2025

Sunday 26 October ~ MK Motion, Milton Keynes

Saturday 1 November ~ Fireworks Night, Cambridge
