Don't be frightened, Carnivora won't eat you, she eats rubbish. This ecological marionette was the idea of a fourteen year old called Coline, then her dad and Les Géants du Sud made it. Carnivora is keen on recycling so don't throw your rubbish on the road otherwise she might eat YOU.

This aristocrat comes from another time.Not only a giant but also a bicyclist. Charles Edouard circulates on a penny farthing. He's not a snob he's a friend.

Gogol is a crazy, friendly gorilla. He moves like his African cousins and has the kind heartedness of his Cevenole origins. Gogol is particularly fond of children, specially the ones who don't throw peanuts at him. Think of him as one of you, he'd like it.

Iggy vient d’un monde lointain et incertain. D’un calme légendaire, il arpente les rues et exhibe avec bonhomie l'humain qu'il a enfermé dans sa cage. Derrière les barreaux, le prisonnier en appelle au public pour lui porter secours. Mais qui aura assez de courage pour l’aider au risque d’être sa prochaine victime ?

He comes to us directly from the moon. Ex-marionette, he now dedicates his time to parades. Always with his head in the clouds and his soul of suffering poet, he gets lost. So if you should find him please bring him back to us, we're looking everywhere for him.

This gentlemanly bull will surprise you with his beautiful manners, despite his imposing presence. To tell the truth, he's very affectionate and loves to be stroked. This marionette is luminous, his head and his hooves light up in nocturnal processions.
