| The
coolest elephant ever. |
The Sultan's Elephant is a show created by the Royal
de Luxe theatre company, involving a huge moving
mechanical elephant and other associated public
art installations. In French it is called La visite
du sultan des Indes sur son éléphant
à voyager dans le temps (literally, "Visit
From The Sultan Of The Indies On His Time-Traveling
Elephant").
The elephant is made mostly of wood, and is operated
by over ten puppeteers using a mixture of hydraulics
and motors. It weighs 42 tons, as much as 7 African
elephants. A replica of the elephant was built in
Nantes (France) in 2007, as part of the Machines
of the Isle of Nantes permanent exhibition... |
