The Sultan's Elephant

Over 4 days, free street theatre played out in London in the form of a 42-tonne mechanical elephant and other 3-storey high characters. This was a French production called The Sultan's Elephant, and we went to see it on the last day for the finale at St James Park.

There were thousands of people out, some main streets of London were closed for the play. The crowd was in awe when we saw the elephant. It is so cool it's kind of moving as it ambles down the street, and there are people in red frocks controlling it, lifting its feet, trunk, spraying the crowd and blinking its eyelids! What an amazing experience, I am so lucky to have been here to see it!
