Liverpool's Giant Arachnid Invasion
LIVERPOOL'S GIANT ARACHNID INVASION
It may look like Liverpool is under attack from giant spiders from outer space, but in fact the appearance of this giant creepy-crawly, on the side of an empty office block near Lime Street Station, heralds the start of La Machine, a three-day piece of street theatre and part of the city's year as Capital of Culture.
The 18-metre, mechanical arachnid has been designed and created by French puppet street theatre company, Royal de Luxe, the same company that presented London with the procession of the enormous mechanical Sultan's Elephant in 2006 (see related Rex sets), bringing the centre of the capital to a standstill.
Weighing in at 37 tons, the spider will descend the side of Concourse House on Thursday to be moved to Liverpool's new arena, where it will "wake up" on Friday, before exploring the city in the evening.
However, this is just part of an extensive piece of street theatre that will feature performances, sights and sounds at various landmarks round the city, culminating in a "spectacular finish" on the Sunday.
Just as hundreds of thousands of spectators took to the streets of London for the Sultan's Elephant, so many are expected to fill Liverpool's centre to catch a glimpse of the eight-legged beast, although those suffering from arachnophobia may choose to stay at home.
The La Machine project was commissioned by arts company Artichoke for £1.8 million, with the spider being created in Nantes before it was shipped to Liverpool to be assembled in a secret location.
