Preview the Krewe of Kolossos, bringing art and ecology to Mardi Gras (New Orleans Times-Picayune)

Get a video preview of the Krewe of Kolossos, a new Carnival organization
meant to bring a touch of artistic recycling to Carnival. The first Kolossos
parade, featuring bicycle-powered mini-floats and hand-made throws, that was
planned for New Years Eve 2011 failed to launch because of permitting issues.
But, as co-founder Karina Nathan explains, the Kolossos ecological philosophy
rolls on. Other 2012 parades have incorporated elements of Kolossos into their
lineup, she said. Look for the krewe's charmingly sculpted alligator,
crawfish, sea horse, triceratops, bull, pelican, stallion and flying lady
floats in Muses on Feb. 16, Tucks on Feb. 18 and Orpheus on Feb. 20. According
to Nathan, the Kolossos membership includes face painters, stilt walkers and
other street performers. She hopes that the krewe will find a niche as a
cooperative booking agency that will allow the established krewes to
incorporate more artistic and green elements into their parades. The krewe was
named for the Colossus of Rhodes, a legendary giant statue created by the
ancient Greeks. Nathan hopes the ecological Krewe of Kolossos eventually makes
a big impact of its own. For more information go to www.kolossos.org.
