The Sultan's Elephant by Royale de Luxe

I ran across this video on Be quiet Angela, you were never baptized (moondropsandteacakes.blogspot).

The performance art was created by a French mechanical marionette theater company named Royale de Luxe. The company was founded in 1979 by Jean Luc Courcoult in Nantes and has performed in Europe, Chile and Australia.

The Sultan's Elephant is the fifth in a series of performances that utilizes giant puppets—it is really beautiful and kind of creepy.

If you speak French you may want to check out the Royale de Luxe website here.

There is a photoblog of the performance in Nantes at Revolte des Mannequines here.
