The little giantess and the Elephant
The French theatre group Royal de Luxe visited Calais on September 28th, 29th, 30th and October 1st with their show “The visit of the Sultan of the Indiens on his elephant that can travel trough time”.
My friend A. had taken more than 100 pictures of their performance in Calais and she also told me the story behind the pictures! What a remarkable performance! Of course she is not the only one who was impressed, so I managed to find lots of pictures of this event on the Internet for you.

The giantess and the elephant are gigantic marionettes. The giant girl is nearly 20 feet tall and the elephant is about 36 feet high. The girl arrives in the city with a spaceship and after that she can be seen, together with the elephant on several locations in the city. Her greatest hobby is sewing, so one morning the people in the city are astounded by the fact that she has sewn a row of cars to the pavement with a gigantic needle.
She loves the kids in the city and allows them to swing on her forearms.
you need to watch out for the elephant, he likes to tease the people. He takes a great pleasure in soaking them by spraying water from his trunk.
If you have fallen in love with the little girl yet, have a look at these movie clips:

The end of the show. The giantess gets back into her spaceship and disappears into the space-time continuum. The elephant is looking forward to the time they will meet again in another city.
