The Enigma of Momentary Changing Clothes / DAVID & DANIA

It's a natural and daily action for us to change our clothes.
However, DAVID & DANIA turn it into an amazing art.

While they dance with elegance, their costumes are changing
one after another. I've never known what fun changing
clothes could be!

You might think it's not enough time for them to take off
their costumes every few seconds, but they can do it
without a hitch.

The audience is occupied with the two on stage,
as some are mesmerized by their great performance,
and others can't help thinking about how to change
clothes so quickly.

Where are their clothes taken off on stage!?
How many costumes do they have!?

The stage is filled with those mysteries.

Why not go and see them to delve into their enigma!?

An Entertainer With Joyful Heart / David Ramsay

Hello ladies and gentlemen!! Would you like to share a wonderful time with David Ramsay ? He will perform juggling and balloon art and ride on a unicycle with funky music. You might have a chance to be on the stage with him if you wish. If he asks you to come up to the stage, you don't want to refuse only to miss the precious reward. I asked him what was the most important thing to keep being popular among kids and adults as an entertainer. He answered "Heart and Guts ".Please give him a big round of applause.

A Diverse Japanese Circus / UMPTEMP

This Japanese troupe of 5 entertains children and
adults alike with its wide range of music and acrobatic
styles. An eclectic mix of music combines traditional
Japanese melodies and instruments (among them the
shamisen) with a modern dance sound and even some
country tunes! You can also see juggling, acrobatics,
and Edo kagura (sacred dancing and music from
Shinto shrines) from over 400 years ago in this truly
unique performance. Don't miss out for an interesting
variety show of entertainment, history, and culture.

A World Without Gravity / REMI MARTIN

Joining Daidogei (and visiting Japan) for the first time, Remi Martin
is enjoying the fine weather and friendly people while impressing
everyone with his talent. At age 25, Remi has mastered gravity.
The German native is as at home on the Chinese pole as a spider
to its web. And with over 5 years of training, it's no surprise!



You won't want to miss his dramatic, spell-binding performance
combining art and gravity-defying acrobatics. "Please come see
me live," Remi asks. An appreciative audience is his inspiration while
performing, so come, enjoy, and watch in awe as he takes your
breath away through feats of balance unlike any seen before!
