In front of Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris, spectators gathered to witness a mysterious object that turned out to be the beginning of a spectacular street performance by the French theater company La Compañía Royal de Luxe. The company, based in Nantes, presents unusual shows in public spaces in France and other countries, and had come to Paris to perform their latest production in front of the cathedral, with no further introduction needed for the audience to enjoy the story told through photos of the event.
