The Walk Productions (Little Amal)

In 2021, from the Syria-Turkey border all the way to the UK, The Walk brought together celebrated artists, major cultural institutions, community groups and humanitarian organisations, creating one of the most innovative and adventurous public artworks ever attempted. At the heart of The Walk is ‘Little Amal’, a 3.5 metre-tall puppet of a young refugee girl, created by the acclaimed Handspring Puppet Company. Representing all displaced children, many separated from their families, Little Amal travelled over 8,000km embodying the urgent message “Don’t forget about us”. At the time of unprecedented global change, The Walk was an extraordinary artistic response: a cultural odyssey transcending borders, politics and language to tell a new story of shared humanity. In 2023 Little Amal will be walking again. For the latest news and announcement follow @walkwithamal on Instagram and Twitter. The Walk in 2021 was produced by David Lan, Tracey Seaward, Stephen Daldry and Naomi Webb for Good Chance Theatre in association with Handspring Puppet Company.
