Masterpiece… This week challenge‘s a good opportunity for me to present the work of a French street theatre company I really appreciate: Royal de Luxe. This company mainly works with gigantic puppets made of wood and steel, like this 15-metres tall Giant operated by around 30 persons, and the little girl, operated by 24 puppeteers.

The story this time was about a diver that retrieved letters from the wreck of the Titanic, and his niece, Little Girl Giant.

What I like with this company is the way they operate the Giants, making them so… human. Truly. And that’s a real masterpiece!
Some information about Royal de Luxe, and the same event in Liverpool this time.
Really astonihing!
This is amazing! I’ve never heard of these Giants before. Now you’ve got me curious.
Thanks – this post reached its goal then 🙂
Quite intriguing. If I saw them in the night without realizing what they are, my heart might jump a bit.
I agree 🙂
Wow, how cool is that!! Never heard of them either.
These are awesome and a little creepy at the same time!
Thanks! Creepy, I’m not sure – hope it’s not the pictures I took that give this feeling!
No, no, no! The pics are great. I’ve just never been a big fan of marionettes, clowns, mannequins or really dolls for that matter. They just creep me out for some reason, lol!
Oh… I understand, I feel the same. Except for these ones 😉
Those are astounding!
Thank you 🙂
that’s fascinating and the size is huge, wow!
