A Twist of Fate, a street show with giant puppets, was showcased in India for the first time as part of Bonjour India 2022. During the Twist of Fate’s first performance, the giant sculptures were a sight to see as they danced and walked in the spacious Lodhi Garden. The show has been created by - Les Grandes Personnes from Aubervilliers in France - a group known for bringing giant sculptures to life.

Children especially were mesmerized as they saw puppets come to life and tell a story in a way they'd never seen before. The show used the puppets to narrate a love story whose offbeat characters range from children who like to play cricket in the streets, a policeman who’s not quite in his element, a soothsayer that uses tarot cards to predict whom cupid’s arrow will strike, and a handsome young man prophesied to fall in love.

Despite this quirky ensemble of characters, the play has an element that danger lurks around the corner: a theme that kept audiences on their toes.
