Revolt of the Mannequins by Royal de Luxe
"La Revolte des Mannequins" ("Revolt of the Mannequins") is a new production by Royal de Luxe, and follows their famous "Sultan's Elephant" show that was performed in several cities worldwide from 2005 to 2007.
In the Revolt of the Mannequins, 13 shopfronts in the city center are transformed into theatre stages, where the mannequins perform a 10-day play. Every night, the Royal de Luxe team changes the positions of the mannequins, making the story jump to the next episode. 10 days, and 10 episodes per shopfront, lead up to the final Revolt.
