The life and death of the WISP WHISPERS monster.... occurred last thursday evening at the Museum of Childhood in London, where took place an evening of performances and interactive installations only for the night.
Puff & Flock (Amelie Labarthe, Jenny Leary, Elisabeth Buecher), Common Ground Design (Bruno Taylor, Vincenzo di Maria) and Marilou Rabourdin, Miguel Guzman, Adriana Munoz joint forces to make that stuff happen in only 3 hours on the day... As a result, a candy looking floating monster that speaks to you through his tongue and balloon furniture to lounge on. Before we killed it (it had to disappear on the night) we took it for a walk parade to Bethnal green tube and back. It's amazing how balloons can make people happy.
It was a big success and so much fun, bringing together kids and grown ups. No budget, but a lot of will, colours, and playful energy.

One of my best moment in London... Thank you everyone !
