Royal de Luxe: Sea Odyssey - Giant Spectacular

LIVERPOOL, ENGLAND: The French street theatre company Royal de Luxe www.royal-de-luxe.com/en/ travels the world with enormous marionettes, winding through cities with performances that often lasts days. Human puppeteers (Lilliputians) maneuver the intricate marionettes (some as tall as 15 meters/50 feet high) through streets, parks and even waterways.
Here we see the most recent performance, the tale of a young girl whose father was a steward on the great RMS Titanic. The group is currently in talks with various cities over its next performance, expected for 2014.

Puppeteering is certainly one of those unsung kind of art forms. Impressive when done well, but treated as a parlor trick most of the time. This is truly a wonderful performance, and what a great way to bring people together. Humanwire should get far more attention than it does.

Wow that’s a lot of work behind making it move

[@maheenrizwan9551]

For some reason the giants look normal to me while the actual people, abnormally small; similar to how Gulliver compares to Lilliputians.
