Festival Report フェスティバル レポート 2006

Alain and Martyn Shabry

Many people waited for the brother & sister act of Alain and Martyn
Shabry to show up under the beautiful autum sky. Born to a family
of performers, Alain started his perfoming career when he was
twenty and Martyn when she was eight. As the music and their
movements become faster, the clapping by the audience does so as
well. No one can keep their eyes off the beautiful woman chaging
her outfits in a second. What is more surprising is that she made
all these dresess herself! Alan told us, "I have gotten so much
energy from the audience!"And Martyn added "I will make kimono
next year!".

Tasty performance by the sweet guy.

This is the 3rd time and the last time for him to perform
in this festival. He enjoys wonderful reaction of the
audience every year but he's retiring because he wants to be
a real Japanese sweets chef.

He juggles with mitarashi-dumpling clubs and green tea can
rollers. And this performance is so popular especially among
children.

He hopes to come back to this festival to sell real Japanese
sweets which is made by himself.

We're looking forward to it!

Petra Lange - Beautiful Aerial Performance

This is the very first time for her to perform in Japan,
Petra Lange from Germany presents a beautiful aerial
performance twining her body around only one rope. She
climbs up and down using the rope and dances in the air.
She expresses her own life and also peoples lives on the
rope.The audience was just amazed to be able to feel her
energetic life!
