The fire-breathing dragon-horse sparking wonder in a city near you | Frédette Lampre

This TED Talk Daily podcast features an interview with Fredette Lamp, an artist and designer from the French street theater collective La Machine. Lamp discusses the creation and impact of the collective's giant moving machines, such as fire-breathing sea dragons and slumbering minotaurs. She explains the process of building these machines, involving various crafts and trades, and highlights their role in transforming urban spaces and fostering community engagement through free, large-scale public performances. Examples of projects in cities like Calais, Ottawa, Beijing, and Nantes are used to illustrate the positive impact of these unique artistic installations.
