Festival Report フェスティバル レポート 2007

Diabolo Performance with a taste of Asia　Tony Frebourg

You can catch a glimpse of the attraction of Tony's performance
even from warm-up. Tony Frebourg, covering himself with Hakama
(Asian trousers), began his performance using a fan with mysterious
dance.



Tony said that he likes Japan, and he could move easily with the
Hakama (though it looks immobile.)

After 12 years practice, he is one of the best diabolo performers in
the world. It is worth watching his performance with 4 diabolos in
particular. The mixture of acrobatic and diabolo performance will
surely attract all the audiences!!!

Fantastic Juggling by "Kikyo Brothers"

You've gotta see the wonderful juggling by "Kikyo Brothers"!!

This is there first time to perform in Shizuoka. They perform not
only club juggling but also juggle balls and diabolo too.

They are very famous by doing "10 Club Passing", which only a few
jugglers have succeed in Japan. During this event, they will go for
11 clubs, so you must check it out!

They said that they respect Yabe Ryo and Victor Kee, who are also
performing in this event.

You can't miss their fantastic world class juggling!!

Wonderful acrobats on the Unicycle

We are really surprised by DIANA&YURY's high level peformance.

Diana is from Russia, Yury is from Ukraina, You can't miss their
unexpected　performance.Their performance is very well and natural,
because they have known each other for 16 years.

They usually perform all over the world, basically in Germany and
America. Diana's beautiful performance on unicycle impress the
audience so much. They train only an hour a day, though they have
a high skilled technique.

They say that the reaction of audience is wonderful, the
administration of this festival is great and appreciate everything
about this festival. We hope they will come back again.

Japanese, Sil Vous Plait.

A white dressed man and woman are the pantomime duo called
Sil Vous Plait. Somehow, they remind us some...old generation
like Showa era. They stand like elegant statues, but move and
dance like dinamic storm.



Their perfomance is totally differnet from other performers.
At the moment the performance started, the stage changed
into the sky, bottom of the water, and tennis court.
Everybody can easily understand the scene, even though the
situations often change quickly. That is because of their
sophisticated skills.

They are also really really polite.
During their performance, they bow down each other, and the
volunteer who was on the stage to help them, was given
well-wrapped "Cucumber" by them.


The theme was "Touch is..."
At the moment that the man touched the woman's finger by
his finger, love began flowing like Great Falls. Nobody would
imagine that pantmime can express such a sentimental feeling
like theirs. or special skills only for them? ....Could be.


Hey, Mr. and Ms. DAIDOGEI lover!
Loud music is OK, juggling is OK, thrilling acrobat is OK,
but see what this Japanese duo gives! You would absolutely
enjoy their world filled with the passionated expression.
You will be addicted with their simple but skillful action.
