The origin of “Cargo 92”, an ambitious project initiated by Royal de Luxe to celebrate
the commemoration of the 500th anniversary of the discovery of America. The cargo
ship, The Melquiades, becomes the vessel for this artistic odyssey, embarking on a tour
that spans multiple continents and countries. The cargo ship transforms into a stage
that welcomes thousands of spectators. The ship’s hold is ingeniously converted into a
street, where the magic of Royal de Luxe unfolds in a series of mesmerizing performances.
This gallery exhibit at, www.zulaybecerra.com/, chronicles the extraordinary journey organized
by the French Mechanical Marionette Street Theatre Company, Royal de Luxe. Converting
a cargo ship named “The Melquiades.” to exhibit and showcase the artistic brilliance of

parade known as “The True History of France.”
