2022 Toulouse (France)
In the early summer of 2022, Long Ma made the
8th stop of its Global Tour at Toulouse, France, where, it teamed up with
Minotaure to fight the Spider in a performance of “Nüwa, l'esprit du
cheval-dragon” at the Piste des Géants of Ancien site aéronautique de Toulouse.
Attracting a few hundred thousand spectators and presenting the locals the
charm of Chinese culture, the show was a success in promoting Sino-French
friendship and cultural exchanges despite the difficulties caused by the Covid
pandemic.
More 20 French TV channels and conventional press,
among them, Europe’s top-rating Euronews, covered the show and praised its
success. The prominent Le Parisien said, “The show was regulated with the
standard security code so as to ensure the free ambulation of these giants and
present a spectacular show”.
