Boo!






Unlike other stilt men, he loves to jump around

The artists like to make fun of people by using their 'big cloth' to cover people.

You can watch stuntman even at Orchard Road! The Glittering Bestiary is put up also by the La Compagnie Malabar who started the Festival Opening. This act that is put up by La Compagnie Malabar attracts many people at Orchard Road. These "circus acrobatics" are dressed in all white except for one who dressed up in grey and black. The first thing that caught my attention was the all-white costumes and make-ups.

These performances was about a circus acrobat who is in search of their phantasmagorical creatures that have seem to escape! All of them were is stilt-walking. Can you imagine these tall and white-dressing people trying to cover you with their big cloth? It is really a fun experience as these artists will do funny actions and trying to follow you around outside Ngee Ann City.

Behind this performances, the artists actually been through a lot. They got to go through practices and wear such a thick costumes and performance under such a hot climatic weather like Singapore. Despite the cooling feel after the rain, the perfomers still sweat a lot. I actually saw some of the artists stop behind a pillar and catch a breathe. He drank mineral water that was provided by their staffs.
