François Delarozière is an artists , director of La Machine, a very famous street theater and instalation french company. He was born in 1963 and I Studied at the Ecole des Beaux Arts. After That, he worked as a stage designer and interior designer for 20 years, and in 1987, he meet Jean-Luc Courcoult, the director of the street theater company Royal de Luxe (The Little Giant, performed two times in Santiago).
They worked together from 1991 to 2008. At this time, Delarozière had developed an own style and interest, and he created ¨La Machine¨.
His first and most famous work was La Princesse, a huge mechanical spider that walks around streets.
This is notorious in ¨Les Machines de l'Ile of Nantes¨, an island in the Loire river, where ¨La Machine¨ creations live.
Delarozière said that Jules Vernes, Leonardo Da Vinci and Gustave Eiffel are his influences. In his works The unveiling of materials and Mechanisms is Very Important, and too a methodical study of nature.
In this place we can find amazing machines, like a huge Elephant and a Marine Carrousel of three levels, Where you can ride an ocean creature.
Delarozière Has Been Described as an "engineering genius, and is obious why.
I admire in his work the way he and his team give life to their creations , combining magically matter and technique.
And too, his draws are something amazing.
