As part of the celebrations for the bicentennial of Mexican independence and the centenary of the revolution, the Royal de Luxe Company presented its gigantic puppets show on the streets of Guadalajara, Mexico. 28/11/2010

As part of the celebrations for the bicentennial of Mexican independence and the centenary of the revolution, the Royal de Luxe Company presented in the streets of Guadalajara (the second largest city in Mexico) the gigantic puppet show.
It all started on November the 23rd, when a large piece of wall with a mural painting on it suddenly appeared in the city center as fallen from the sky. The painting described the story of a giant girl who had been separated from his uncle during the war of independence and how they would be reunited on 2010 in Guadalajara.
During the following days the gigantic characters were appearing on the streets to meet each other while earning the sympathy of the inhabitants of the city.
Finally, on Sunday the 28th the history came to an end and the Giants made one last tour to say goodbye to his audience, in what has been considered one of the greatest shows this town has lived.
