Living Statues at Epcot?

[whozit]

On our trip to WDW last August, we saw the "Living Statues" in France at Epcot. My niece thought they were a hoot....a real highlight of her trip. Are the Living Statues still at Epcot? I think I saw on these boards that their performances were now in Italy, does anyone know for sure where we can find them? Any idea on the performance times? I think last year they were there on and off from about 4pm to about 8pm. Thanks.

They also perform outside of France.

The statues are now in Italy and are as great as ever. I also would highly recommend the two shows now in France: A Chair Act and Le Mime Roland. My cynical teens loved them.

Like the others said, the statues are in Italy. The name of the show is called Imaginum. I was in Epcot at the beginning of June, and was able to catch the 1:30 show. They were there for about 15 minutes, and then it started pouring. The part I was able to see was very entertaining, and well worth having for find a place to wait out the never-ending rain storm.

Thanks all, we'll go to Italy to see the statues....and check out some of the other performances too!

The living statues are in Italy. When I was there (6/19-24), DH took a photo of DS and I w/the statue. The CM w/the statue told DH to go up w/us and he'd take a photo. Well, the statue tured to my DH, grabbed his chin and tipped it up so he looked up at her. Then, the audience started laughing! Then, the statue tapped me on the shoulder, grabbed my hand and pulled me up w/her. She posed us, making sure my arm was raised w/hers (therefore covering our mouths) and she whispered "Close your eyes and count to 10 very slowly". So, there I was, standing on the platform, arms raised in a pose w/my eyes closed, counting very slowly ... when the crowd burst out laughing. I didn't know if I could open my eyes b/c I hadn't gotten to 10, so I announced "I'm opening my eyes now!" and when I opened them, I was the only person standing there!!!! The statue took off w/my DH!!!!! I had no idea!!!! The crowd applauded, I curtsied and said "What happened!??!" and the CM explained that the woman took off w/my DH!!!! I was hysterical! Only a bit sad that I missed it all b/c I had my eyes closed! But, the CM took photos of everything, so I did get to see it after all!!!! Very cute!!!!

The Living statue was great when I got to see him. I caught the last part of the show. I have a picture up on my web page from the performance.

I loved the living statues!
My children where doing the whole "can't we go back to MK" through Epcot, right until we started seeing the street shows in World Showcase, they all appear to be perfectly timed, so that you can go from one show to the next.
Now, My ds has decided that that is where we will start for our November trip!

On our trip last September, the statue took my 3 year old's sandal off his foot and made my husband kiss her cheek to get it back! We were all in hysterics, except for my 3 year old, who was shocked a "statue" took his sandal.
