Royal de Luxe

Check out this great video for some inspiration in movement, performance art, and costuming.

The Royal de Luxe group is responsible for this city-wide, days long performance of a giant marionette girl who lands on earth, wanders around the city (doing day to day activities, sightseeing, etc.), and meets up with a large-scale elephant puppet(who is also making his own journey around the city)before returning to her own planet/world. What I love about this performance is how detailed it is, from the costumes of the performers and the dress of the puppet to the uniforms of the puppeteers.
