A remarkable group of engineers, musicians, sculptors, performers, poets and pyrotechnicians, the company has invented many prototypes such as site-specific theatre in landscape, lantern processions, spectacular fireshows, community carnivals and participatory festivals. These creations have been by turns beautiful, abrasive, didactic, provocative, disturbing, wondrous and even gently therapeutic.

"Masken, soweit sie nicht im Theater oder beim Karneval anzutreffen sind, hinterlassen auch au?erhalb der B?hne ihre Spuren und treiben ihren Mummenschanz ganz ungeniert in aller ?ffentlichkeit; Menschen, mit Gesichtern maskiert. Nicht immer werden die Spielregeln eingehalten und w?ren da nicht die Taten, w??te man wohl nie was sich hinter so manchem Gesicht befindet. Masken, soweit sie im Theater oder beim Karneval anzutreffen sind, leben von ihrer Faszination und da sie nichts zu verbergen haben ( bis auf ein Gesicht ), hat man auch keine Angst vor ihnen. Unerbittlich zwingen sie dem Spieler ihre physischen und psychischen Eigenschaften auf und geben erst Ruhe, wenn sie, total entfesselt, zu leben beginnen, um uns in ihren Bann zu ziehen............"

Dorchester's pageant giants are never happier than when they're at a festival or parade. Since 1987 they've been adding a higher perspective to events in Dorset and the wider world. From one point of view they may be no more than animated statues of metal, plastic and fabric. From another they are fantasy made real. To the open-minded, including the eager minds of children; they are visitors from the land of fairy-tale.

Another direction we can take when looking for the meaning behind the Green Man is to study the character known in England as 'Jack-in-the- Green'. This was a figure who joined the May-Day revels in the 19thC, becoming particular!y associated with the chimney sweeps who along with many other trades, used this national holiday as an opportunity to boost their lean income with a little begging. In return, they provided some entertainment of rowdy variety. This involved them dressing up in gaudy tinsels and ribbons, with blackened faces "like morris dancers" and performing a rough and ready dance around a Jack-in-the-Green to the music of shovels, sticks, drums, and whistles. The Jack was a man inside a conical framework of wicker covered with leaves. A small gap was left in this, through which the occupant could peer- very like some of the Green Man figures in the churches.
