Festival Report フェスティバル レポート 2010

Rhythmic Comedy / STARBUGS

This is their first entry for DAIDOGEI WORLD CUP IN SHIZUOKA.
However, the audience has already been immersed themselves
by their rhythmical dance and unique comedy show!
All the children were astonished and got exited
when they saw the unexpected performance part using gunpowder.

Since they are pleasing to our eyes, they might get
many female fans during the festival, I guess.



After arriving in Shizuoka, they tried some kinds of
Japanese food. Their favorite ones are Sushi and Fugu
(a sliced puffer fish).

They said they really like to say hello to the people on streets,
because they are so kind and looked so happy.
The audience's smiles make them far more motivated!

You still have chances to see them during the festival.
Let's go check out their show
and clap your hands for their performance!

A Lot of Vitamins! / Les Vitamines

If you want some energy,
you should watch their performance.
I'm sure you'll enjoy it!
Their acrobatic show is so powerful and funny!
They say they always do training together.
Because of this, their performance is in perfect harmony.

All the audience was attracted by their naughty characters.
They sometimes splash water to the audience,
but this makes the show a lot more impressive!!

They can speak Japanese so well
although they studied it only for a week.
It's amazing!!!

You may forget the time and enjoy the show.

Why don't you come and get a lot of vitamins?

World Top Class Woman Hat Juggler / SHIRLEY DEAN

With three hats, three balls and three cigar boxes,
the woman who captivates the audience is Shirley Dean.

The highlight of the show is the part
where she juggles three silk hats.
She juggles them really fast and also she rolls the hat with her head.

The reason why she started to use the hat was because
she said that there are almost no woman jugglers
who use hats in the world.

She said that this is her first time to perform in Japan.
Every time when she performs on a stage, she always cares
about the audience and their entertainment.
Thus, she keeps smiling at all times
even if the wind blows her hats or she makes mistakes.

Her dream is to keep continuing her show as long as she can and
to make her family stay healthy for a long time.

Don't miss her cute smile and top class juggling show!!
