For several weeks, the Pink City has been rustling with her arrival. And, from Thursday, hundreds of people will converge to the city center to discover The Guardian of the Temple, the latest addition to La Machine.
Transformed into a theater stage, Toulouse will see the impressive Asterion parading for four days. This minotaur, half man and half bull, composed of 46 tons of wood and steel, will live a real epic through the streets, guided by Ariane, a spider equally gigantic.
The arrival of these giant machines is not a coincidence if we believe François Delarozière, the one who gave them life, just like the myth that surrounds them.
A myth and a scene in four acts
"When we dug the first line of the metro, twenty-five years ago, a prophecy discovered on a stone was found and we have decrypted it. Fifty equinoxes later, the guardian of the ancient temple, remained underground for thousands of years, will reappear the waters of the Garonne and appear in the city center of Toulouse is a maze, "says the director of the company that plants the very poetic decor.
