The Royale De Luxe Company from France has created another theatrical visual marvel. I LOVE THESE PEOPLE!  Their first, work was a narrative played out in the streets:  ” The little girl giant woke up one morning, got a shower from the Sultan;’s Elephant, and wandered off to play in the park…” To see a film of their absolutely incredible creation on YouTube, click here. Their most recent work, is about a scuba diver:

Nantes, the home town of Jules Verne, is situated in western France.  Here, near the river Loire a giant deep-sea diver sleeps gently, waiting for his task to begin.  Sadness marks his face even as he sleeps.  He has been searching the world over for his missing niece and although he may not know it, the end of his search is coming.  The diver or scaphandrier as he is known in French will be paraded through the streets of this historic city at the beginning of the Estuary 2009 arts festival.  The biannual festival gives the French mechanical marionette street theater company Royale de Luxe the opportunity to unveil their latest creation.
