Perth has a population of just 1.9 million but last weekend almost three quarters of them – 1.4 million people – turned out over three days to see French company Royal de Luxe’s The Giants. That is almost as many as the 1.43 million who turned out to Vivid Sydney over 18 days last year and the larger city has struggled to control the crowds at Vivid.
