Memories of August 1914 was a five-day outdoor performance art event featuring giant marionettes, and took place in Liverpool, England, from 23 to 27 July 2014.[1] The event started with the sleeping Grandmother on display in St George's Hall.[2] On the Friday, approximately 300,000 people watched the giants in the city.[3] On the final day, the giants left the city in a boat on the River Mersey, after making their way from Clarence Dock via The Strand.[4] Crowd estimates show that over the course of the weekend, more than 1.5 million people attended the event. [5]
It was designed and operated by the French street theatre company Royal de Luxe,[6] and featured two of the three giants, the Little Giant Girl and her dog, Xolo, that were used in the Sea Odyssey: Giant Spectacular in 2012.[1][7] The event is to mark 100 years since the start of World War I.[1]
