Mechanical Menagerie: alfonso Milanos Mechanical MarvelsPulled by an obviously long suffering slave on a penny farthing and driven by the skeleton of circus master Alfonso Milano himself, the caravan of Mechanical Marvels emerges... Visibly patched up and repaired over centuries, it is a strange mixture of medieval, victorian and present day, in an odd spectacle that is animated by fire, smoke, bubbles, music and movement.
