Kick-Ass Art and Machinery: A Perfect Marriage!

There was Leonardo DaVinci, H.G. Wells, even Dr. Suess; all of them thinking of the mechanically advanced future. This performance art company is one of my very fav’s. “La Machine,” is a French company that specializes in this particular amazing and entertaining art form. It is on my bucket list to see one of their displays live. They are so huge and alive-looking! It’s about as close to a Godzilla scenario as we are likely to run into in our lifetimes. The group was formed by artists, designers, fabricators and technicians in early 1990s and is currently led by François Delarozière, Artistic Director and creator of La Princesse. They are known by its extraordinary theatrical machines, permanent installations, and also its own theatrical productions.
