What nobody has ever really understood is that the Little Girl-Giant travels through time. She comes, she goes, walking in the past and appearing from the future to be here before us today.
Creation 2011
Giants spectacular
El Xolo
"El Xolo" is a creation presented in Nantes, from 27 to 29 May 2011, as part of the Year of Mexico in France. The people of Nantes discover for the first time the Xolo, the dog of the Little Girl Giant, a sacred animal that she meets again in Nantes after her trip to Mexico - 600,000 spectators.
Anyway, the first time she visited the city of Guadalajara was in 1910 during the Mexican revolution. It is impossible to tell you why these things happened, but one tale tells us that at the time, Zapata spoke to her one moonlit night.
Despite not being blessed with the power of speech, the Little Girl-Giant has in her eyes the crashes, swirls and hopes of all Human History.
The fact remains that in 2010 she was invited to Mexico to witness this epic drama that was to change the course, not of Human History, but of the people with bare feet who clamored for shoes.
In this adventure, she found the twin brother of the Great Giant : The Peasant, El Campesino down from the mountains to tread the land of large landowners. He had come to plant watermelon trees, gingerbread trees or chicken-leg trees, and was rejected downright from the landscape.
The Aztecs gave her the gift of a god-dog with obsidian teeth : The Xolo who had been charged with accompanying the dead into the afterlife.
When the Little Girl Giant found the Great Giant’s brother, the Xolo immediately became the Little Girl-Giant’s companion. Who knows why? Sitting on a hill near Guadalajara she decided to bring her dreams and memories back to her home : the port of Nantes.
Which Mexican God sent a mural painted by Diego Rivera down from heaven, revealing the fragments of her memories of Nantes?

MAY 24, 2011 A WALL FALLEN FROM THE SKY AND HIT THE CITY OF NANTES. THE NEXT DAY THE XOLO WAS SENT IN A BLOCK OF ICE. TWO DAYS LATER THE LITTLE GIRL GIANT ON A SHIP LEAVING VERACRUZ, WITH THE CAMPESINO TRANSPORTED IN A CONTAINER, DOCKED IN THE PORT OF SAINT-NAZAIRE. BOTH TOOK THE DIRECTION OF NANTES: HE BY BOAT, SHE BY BUS.
