Mechanoid Elephant comes to London

April 28th, 2006

The Sultan’s Elephant is a fairy-tale for adults and children alike, and features a vast, moving, wooden elephant, 42 tons in weight, and the height of a three-storey house. The mechanoid elephant will make slow but steady progress around Westminster’s streets for four days in May.

The spectacle is the work of French company Royal de Luxe and will appear on the streets of London as the biggest piece of free theatre ever staged in the capital. Royal de Luxe has performed all over the world and are particularly known for a series of extraordinary shows involving gigantic, moving figures up to forty feet high.
