Earlier this week over in Berlin, Germany, spectators got to watch a “several-day” performance by France’s Royal de Luxe street threatre company. The production, called “The Berlin Reunion”, celebrated the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall and featured two giant marionettes, a deep sea diver and his niece. As you’ll be able to see from the full images over at The Big Picture on Boston.com, the two are separated and walk the streets seeking one another, only to be finally reunited. Pretty amazing production and the scope of it is pretty insane. Thanks to April for sending this one in, soon as I saw it, I was pretty mesmerized.
