Have you see this?

The Berlin Reunion (http://www.boston.com/bigpicture/2009/10/the_berlin_reunion.html)

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.

They were huge and it sounds like they cost a fortune. The deep sea diver was pretty neat looking. The girl was a little creepy to me.

Pssh. I could totally see the strings in those pictures.

:D

I thought this thread was going to be about "riding on the Metro" and how "I'm a man" and how "I'm a slut" and then getting breath stolen and all that.

I have got to see one of those mega-puppets in person before I die.

That was my thought (and hope) as well.

Actually, I just searched and apparently it's not as regularly as before. But they are playing in Agoura Hills in December.

To complete the derail, the company I work for just released a CD/DVD of the most recent House of Blues DTD show, in case anyone is interested...
