Singing in the rain/Theatre De La Toupine

Huge mushrooms appeared suddenly on the rainy street――what are they? They are Theatre De La Toupine from France.

This time Cecile Corsalan and Sebastien Gerlier came to Japan, but in fact, they belong to a big theater group having about 50 members.
They are living near the Alps, so they said, "it has been snowing already. Here, you have Mt.Fuji so we have intimate feelings with people in Shizuoka."

Now, let's have a look at their performance. Their bodies are so funny.They make strange noises with pushing and hitting their bodies. Despite of sudden rain, they were singing and dancing merrily.They caught up the passengers and danced together on the street.
Seeing the comical mushrooms, everyone smiles and laughs.2 mushrooms turned depressive rainy day into the fantastic one.

"Shizuoka is a nice town.Japanese people are kind,"they said."Food is good,too."
"I like SUSHI and RENKON,"Cecile said.(藍/Eri)
