The Chinese culture has the legend about Long Ma, a huge 45-ton dragon. Now it is on the streets of Toulouse!
Built by a group of street theatres – La Machine, it looks like a dragon-horse hybrid.
Furthermore, it’s spewing smoke and water. This fire-breathing, mechanical dragon also has friends creatures – a Minotaur and a spider.
The machine controlled by people looks quite impressive. From afar, it seems as if it is walking through the streets by itself, without human assistance. The dragon is made of steel, wood, leather, blown glass, horsehair and textiles and is 11 meters tall.
