We were hooked and returned the next day to see the capsule opon and this incredible girl emerge and begin walking the streets of London with a bemused expression on her face. Then she met this massive elephant. It was a spectacle beyond words. This was the most fantastical piece of street theatre I've ever seen. Joyful, full of wonder, and strangely moving and life affirming. If you have a chance, travel to catch up with future shows. The memory of this will be a touchstone for both of us forever.
