La Princesse, La Machine's giant mechanical spider, was in Liverpool last September (and may have been my highlight of 2008), and Yokohama in ~6 weeks ago.

If you're interested in this subject, take a moment to look up Le Machine De'lile in Nantes as well. The head honchos have close ties to Royal Deluxe and they do the machines you see in the Royal Deluxe performances; for example, they are the folks who made Sultan's Elephant. Amazing.

It created a lot of interest -hundreds of people in the streets to watch it. Quite impressive, but the huge numbers of people plus the heat were not very attractive. They are coming again in our summer, 2010. Apparently is the same story with the giant diver and the girl. They adapt their stories to each country.
