Funny Bones - Where are the four eyes??

Two Zombies like huge walls surprised us with their funny
performance. We can guess that they are using sticks to control
their bodies, but how? We wonder where the four eyes are.



They started the performance with comical and speedy magic using
their voice, some toys, and even audience! Christopher(English guy)
was looking for the volunteer to borrow the lighter from the
audience, and he put that into his pocket and exchanged with his
cheaper one.

The audience said "give it back to me," with a bitter smile.
That made all of the other audience laugh.

They carefully watch the audience and always arrange what they do
next depending on the mood of the people, size of the place,
weather, and so on. That is one of their attractive points which
make their performance LIVELY!

Please find how they see out from the inside of Zombie suits!!

Experience of face paint!

The first time to participate in DAIDOGEI, Liz Small is a face painter

a different person.

Antoine et Rocco's Strained Silent Stage

"I'm terribly sorry to tell you that the performance is delayed about
30 minutes. If you are in a hurry, I recomend you to move to the
next stage."

Even though the audience heard the announcement, the crowd
didn't get small at all. What have they been waiting? They were
waiting for Antoine et Rocco.

The stage was quiet when the performance began, and the
atmosphere tense. Two French guys in black suit appeared, and
started acrobat. As they looked nervous, we got nervous, too.
Antoine et Rocco climed up and down on the chinese poll. There
was a strained silence around the stage.

Although the performance was dark and tensed, Antoine and Rocco
themselves were really nice guys. They have been performing
together for 7 years since they met each other at the DAIDOGEI
World Cup. They said that Japanese audience was really
'Sympa'(nice), but they wanted more reaction from the audience.

The contrast of tense and friendliness...
This might be the secret of their popularity.
