Earlier this week, 1.5 million people filled the streets of Berlin, Germany
to watch a several-day performance by France's Royal de Luxe street theatre
company titled "The Berlin Reunion". Part of the celebrations of the 20th
anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall, the Reunion show featured two
massive marionettes, the Big Giant, a deep-sea diver, and his niece, the
Little Giantess. The storyline of the performance has the two separated by a
wall, thrown up by "land and sea monsters". The Big Giant has just returned
from a long and difficult - but successful - expedition to destroy the wall,
and now the two are walking the streets of Berlin, seeking each other after
many years apart. I'll let the photos below tell the rest of the story |
