Size matters ;-)

Don't ask me how I finally stumpled upon this info, but I couldn't let you not know about it. Royal De Luxe are back with a show (La Petite Géante et l'Eléphant) ! I certainly won't be able to see it, but if you happen to be in Anvers in July, Calais in September or Le Havre in October, just run to thme because you will see the most amazing show ever.

They were in Nimes in 1994 with the Gulliver show (Le Géant tombé du Ciel) and I still remember it very well. How couldn't I ?! Imagine : you're wandering in a city, then you see a car with a giant fork in it and, a mile away, another one with a tree that look like it was thrown on it...
The next day, there's a big buzz : dozen of people dressed with red vintage-looking jackets are restraining a giant in front of the arenas ! OK, the giant is actually the biggest puppet you've ever seen... But still !
At night, like many other curious residents, you approach the giant ... who's snorring !

The third day, they raise him and put him in a chair for an outdoor movie evening. Everybody gather and watch Jules Melies movies.

On the final day, Gulliver will march along a big avenue until he reaches a wall of light, made with hundreds car lights !

For the current show, you can find more details and videos here or there.
