Something unforgettable is happening in Liverpool as a highlight of the city's European Capital of Culture celebrations. Vast in scale and spectacular in execution, this breathtaking new commission from La Machine will spin a tale so magical that an entire city will fall under its spell.

  • how could you be? seriously. it wasnt like it was around for a few weeks and stuff. it was around for five days, and the main show was only three of those days. it was a beautiful and tragic piece of theatrical art that will never happen again, especially not in Liverpool let alone England.

    buses only had to take routes for a little while.and if you dont want to work on sundays again you dont have to.stop being bitter.its gone now but it seems we're still stuck with you and your shit.

  • I've just got back from tonight myself and agree it was so awesome! With the flames and fireworks and those water fountains, all that saturation just made it vanish at times. I thought it was sad too, its that classic misunderstood giant monster story, (like King Kong) how it was desperately trying to escape through the tunnel or defend itself with the hissing. I thought it was beautiful too, the way it moved and how it looked against all the fire it was eerie but graceful. music was amazing

  • Does anyone know if the soundtrack for this was released?

  • 2 years ago was the last comment b4 me lol

  • i was there on sunday watchin it i was sittin on the sundial with some random girls they were snd

  • Since i was working i only got to see it at night, but it was quite surreal nipping out of work to watch it pass Liverpool Central. The pub i work in was packed over them 3 days and isn't 'Capital of Culture' supposed to bring tourists to us? Well, even though it was a little inconvienent getting to an from work it was worth it. Come on, how often do you get to experience something like that?

  • if anyone was to think this is fake...then that mean's the bbc is completely lieng to you over 100,000 people are lieng to you so.....yeah

  • Oh right, myself and the other 20,000 people on the streets last night must have all been deluded. Thanks for putting us right.....idiot.

  • no, it doesnt, just a rumor

  • i saw it. it was amazing, but you cant really get the full effect when you're standing in a crowd of thousands, which is a shame.
