This was a feww weekends ago....

We went ot Liverpool for a street theatre production. It was called La Machine, a big hydraulic mechanical spider throughout the streets of Liverpool. Three days saw the spider arriving into town, perched on a building, racing through the sreets, performing a water ballet, frolicking in a man-made snowstorm, a pursuit, and then escaping through the Mersey Tunnel. There were about 12 operators on the spider and some 'victims' tied to its legs.

It was put on as part of the european capitol of culture year... and cost a whopping 2 million pounds. A little crazy I think.
