I went to see a play at the Théâtre de Chaillôt last night and, arriving early, went to sit on the terrace next to the theatre that looks over the Eiffel Tower. I ran across two enormous puppets that looked like they were made out of white bird's nests and illuminated with Christmas lights. Teams of German puppeteers were manipulating the enormous men - making them play leap frog, do Michael Jackson impersonations, and take forced perspective photos with the Eiffel Tower - for one of their crew members who was filming the whole thing. It was unexpected and fantastical and a little bit marvelous.
The play I saw was a one-man marionette show about a marionettiste.
My life is so meta,
