the Sultan's Elephant...


ok- so I am googling "elephanten", a brand of children's shoes, and I stumble across video of this incredible performance in London from 2006. It is a French puppetry group called "royal de luxe" operating a 2 story high realistic elephant puppet. There is also a little girl giant who looks unsettlingly real. For four days these giant puppets inhabited London and people followed them around. I can't imagine seeing this performance live- it must have been so exciting!
watch and be amazed...
