Planète Vapeur’s enormous Dragon made its way through the streets of Galway as part of Galway International Arts Festival this weekend.
The Forgotten World directed by Arlo Le Gwern took place on Friday and Saturday evening, dazzling people on the streets of Galway with its spectacle.
Artistic Director and producer Pierre Povigna created Planète Vapeur in 2006. Having studied architecture, Povigna was always passionate about complex mechanisms and giant biomechanical machines.
The 30ft high Dragon was brought to life by an artistic collaboration involving multiple technicians and artists, Gérard Artufel as designer, Françoise Povigna as costumer, anf Arlo Le Gwern as writer and director.
The Dragon travelled from Eyre Square to the Spanish Arch via Shop Street, O’Brien’s Bridge and Dominick St. Lower.
Galway International Arts Festival runs until July 30.
