The little girl giant is a puppet, a creation of the Royal de Luxe, the french marionette street theatre company. She travels all around the world, following her father around, accompanied by huge elephants that shower her in the morning. She's visited cities in France, Iceland, Germany, England, Chile and Australia where Royal de Luxe tells her stories: The giant falls from the sky, The return to Africa, The giraffe hunters and more. Once I had the opportunity to follow her around Reykjavik in Iceland for a few daysþ I watched her shower, get dressed and walk around looking for her father. He was a mean giant that wrecked cars and threw stuff around, like giant knifes and forks. It was one the most magical experiences I've had, and all the children were fascinated.
This week there is actually not one but many magicians. All the people of Royal de Luxe are magicians that bring this gigantic wooden girl to live and manage with pure skill to breath live into her, and shape her presence with warmth and feelings.
