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.
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.
The Chilean street theater is very fruitful , but unknown . Obviously , we can not compare the technical and economic possibilities offered by French and Chilean cultural policies ; our theater tends to self-management , so that recycling is the mainstay .
Another important difference is the importance of political and social message in our theater ; estrus only talks about the large number of "loose ends" of our society. Street theater has a wider arrival and shocking the public , so it is an effective tool for change.
Hopefully someday this theater is so valued and supported in Chile as it is in France.
i love it!!
