Echasses De Dieu

Elongated figures, strolling through the streets, inside cafés or city venues, clinging to windows, perched on the shoulders of passers-by. Urban stilt walkers — not the birds with slender legs — have the peculiar flaw of never going unnoticed. Alone, in pairs, or in large groups, they strike the eye like a flash, bringing a glimpse of street tradition into everyday life. Impressive for both children and adults, stilt walkers feel at home wherever there’s a need to make the invisible visible. Town festivals, parades, carnivals, fairs, promotions, openings, street festivals, children’s events... In any occasion where attention needs to be drawn to a special event or to engage the public in collective celebration, stilt walkers are a winning choice. Beyond their visual and aesthetic appeal — enhanced by their costumes — their theatrical and interactive performance style ensures engagement and shared participation in any event.
