Un Manege Etrange

The 104 is a very strange, and yet very wonderful, place.  It is hard to describe:  it is at once a playground, an art gallery, a theme park, a place for experiments... One of its strange rides is the Manège Carré.  It is a sort of sombre merry-go-round, and also a strange machine, an artistric contraption.  The familiar manege music doesn't play - all we can hear is the grinding and screeching of un-oiled metal (and, of course, the un-oiled children riding this beast).
The animal/machines include a fish, a buffalo, and many insects.  Take a look (and listen to) this thing in action! ...

Wow. Kids get to have the most fun.  More on strange ways to have fun at the 104, très bientôt.
