Automata
Carrousel

Eleven lodges.
One token.
Infinite stories.

The Automata Carrousel is a fascinating art-installation with eleven separate lodges. The audience is given a token with which they can open the window in their own lodge — just like in a peep show. From there, one sees various automata glide by on a slowly rotating carousel. The audience can manipulate them themselves by turning a handle.

A beautiful, highly artistic, impressive installation that is very accessible — young, old, wheelchairs, guide dogs — not language-bound (everyone understands it), takes only 10 minutes and where everyone leaves with a smile. And touched.

"C'est génial!"
— François Delarozière, artistic leader La Machine

"The stories of his automata are short but extremely powerful. The fragile aspect of the technique he uses and the dry noise that these automatons give off will move you and awaken the child in all of us!"
— Pierre Orréfice, directeur Les Machines de l'île

"As a whole, Automata Carrousel offers a glimpse of the world outside this peepshow that resonates many times longer than the ten minutes in which the mechanical storytelling machines pass."
