The Verneans have landed
Went along to Pall Mall and Waterloo Place yesterday after work to see part of the ongoing Sultan's Elephant performance, manifesting in sites around central London until tomorrow evening.
Nantes-based artists Royal de Luxe are using giant street puppetry to tell a fantastic tale inspired by the imaginings of Jules Verne.
They succeeded in creating a truly magical space in the capital yesterday, inspiring childlike enchantment from many of its more usually cynical inhabitants (a trait of ours to which the endlessly ludicrous and deeply pathetic David Blaine can attest).
A Guardian article today includes some of the more amusing responses from passers-by and spectators, while the BBC has a good in pictures feature.
