The Lost Art of Peruvian Duck Hurling, a set on Flickr.
This was an interactive theatre experience for all ages to commemorate the Olympic Open Weekend 2011. It ran on 23rd & 24th July 2011 in Manchester’s Exchange Sq and was commissioned by Manchester City Council
Edward Leap had it all, becoming the world champion in the secret art of Peruvian Duck Hurling had made him a hero. From humble beginnings his ride to the top had enthralled fans around the world and nowhere more so than in his home city of Manchester.
Peruvian Duck Hurling was learned only by those who attended the prestigious school in Lima, Peru and received mentorship from the master, Ricardo Del Santos. It was all going well until… The Accident. A freak accident while skiing has left Edward with few physical injuries but a bad case of memory loss. The championships are this week, Edward has forgotten how to play and to top it all off – ¡Dios mío! – Del Santos has been kidnapped!
Someone doesn’t want Edward to succeed and he needs his Mancunian fans to save the day… Can you help Edward defeat his mysterious Nemesis?
