Wellington Street, Ottawa. July 2017
La Machine's Long Ma - a half dragon/half horse as it slowly makes its way down Wellington street in the Parliamentary Precinct.
I think that there were more people present than on any Canada Day celebration.

La Machine's Long Ma casually strolls down Wellington Street in Ottawa on a warm Saturday night.
La Machine is a French street theatre company founded in 1999 and led by François Delarozière. It came about thanks to artists, technicians and theatre designers working together for the construction of unusual theatre objects. The work that they develop in public spaces relates, in the first instance, to theatre, urban planning and architecture.

François Delarozière created this extraordinary work, drawing inspiration from the Chinese legend The Godess Nüwa. Nüwa is the creator of mankind. As the climate changes, she worries about the men she has created. She decides to send her emissary, the spirit of the Dragon-Horse, to help them and fix the sky. However, the Giant Spider, instigator of chaos, crosses Long Ma’s path and lays traps that Long Ma will have to evade…
Created as part of the 50th anniversary of the establishment of Franco-Chinese relations, La Machine makes a stop in Ottawa.
