🐉 Giant Horse-Dragon + 🕷 Giant Spider = ⚙️ La Machine

A film of the amazing confrontation between a giant horse-dragon named Long Ma and a giant spider in the streets of Ottawa, Canada. The two opponents are: 1. Long Ma (horse-dragon) which stands 12 metres high, 5 metres wide and weighs 45 tons. 2. Kumo (spider) which stands 5.7 metres high and 6 metres wide, but can reach up to 13 metres when in motion. The giant creatures were built by a French company named 'La Machine'. La Machine is a French street theatre company founded in 1999. It's known for its extraordinary theatrical machines, permanent installations and also its own theatrical productions. The story for the Ottawa performance is named 'The Spirit of the Dragon-Horse, with Stolen Wings'. The storyline is as follows: “From the ninth level of heaven, Long Ma — a cosmic creature who is half-horse, half-dragon—keeps watch over humanity. But a sinister force that has taken the form of a giant spider slips into his home as he sleeps, burning his wings and robbing his sacred temple. From this time forth, the Dragon-Horse roams the seven seas in search of his missing temple. The giant spider, Kumo, takes refuge in Ottawa, the mother-city of all spiders. Buried deep beneath the waves, the temple remains concealed. But the recent work undertaken by the city to build Ottawa’s new transit line has disturbed Kumo, and she is forced to emerge from the ground. Her power depleted, the spider becomes vulnerable and loses control of the temple, which reappears in the city. Alerted by this apparition, Long Ma sets out on the route taken by Champlain several centuries earlier, with the intention of recovering his temple of travel, a shrine that he alone has the power to properly restore.” -- Table of Contents -- 00:00 Introduction 00:14 Kumo (spider) sleeping 01:12 Long Ma (horse-dragon) sleeping 01:47 Kumo awakens 04:03 Long Ma walks about Byward Market 04:13 Kumo walks about Byward Market 06:24 Long Ma meets Kumo in the Byward Market 06:57 Long Ma awakens 07:43 Long Ma walks through huge crowd 08:20 Long Ma passes Parliament Hill 08:47 Long Ma confronts Kumo at Supreme Court 10:21 Long Ma packed up for shipping to France __________________________________________________________________ Note: Travelogues and more videos available on my YouTube channel (   / tletter  .
