Best Puppet Show Of All Time Occurs

A couple weeks ago France's neat-o personified puppet/art/performance troupe Royal de Luxe (of The Sultan's Elephant fame) staged their latest piece, "The Berlin Reunion," in, where else, Berlin.

This great article in The Boston Globe tells all and has a whole ton of photos documenting the work.

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.
