brilliant.

i went looking for some youtubey cirque nouveau goodness and it's surprisingly hard to find, but then i remembered i had found some clips recently of les colporteurs ; they're not quite typical because it's a troupe only of funambules but the ambiance is right, so thought i'd just quote those posts. i also recommend the company cahin caha (among others) if you ever get the chance to see them.

edit : found another even better video !
edit 2 : ...which doesn't want to embed here, i don't know why. so here is the url to watch it directly : http://www.dailymotion.com/tag/Colpo...neige_creation

here is a trailer of this show :



here is another video :



and here is a report in czech with some other images :

That was some amazing stuff. The guy in the red shoes especially. But I also loved in one of the other clips, the lady with the fans. And the music set it all off nicely (reminded me of some of Tom Waits stuff)

That's easy. Double click on the post number, it will isolate the post, now save it in your favorites\bookmarks in a folder for such collection.

yes, they're brilliant. i wish i could find some clips of chien cru, which was the first show i saw by cahin caha. it was amazing. alas, apparently nobody had a cellphone with a camera back in those days...

That was fantastic! I'd love to see that live. And for some odd reason it reminded me of Luis Bunuel's "Un Chien Andalou", maybe because of the surreal atmosphere, I'm not sure.

WDE.
A teaser to get you interested in watching your friends DVD's. *If* you ever can find the time. Talk about surreal...

Okay, now I have to watch it, as soon as possible! And look at Clea Duvall in that clip, is she one of the most gorgeous women ever (might just be me and my crush talking)

Okay, how can you be Green and not know that, yet Yvan the prankster did? Didn't you read that chapter in the Ms. Mod Instruction Manual they gave you? I bet you skipped right past the "Helpful Hints" section and went straight for the "NAP" (Newly Acquired Powers) chapter. Good thing Yvan's looking out for his Green Queen.

So sorry - I almost forgot - that's what your SUBJECTS are for.
