Phoenix
Fire Show
Cabaret Marquee
01:20 25th June 2000
The
Cabaret tent has a great deal to offer from first thing in the morning
to last thing at night. At the end of the comedy we fell upon a
great juggling act. Uggghhh, not more juggling. But this is juggling
with a difference. Under fluorescent light the team of five people,
juggled, span poi's and used ribbons to create a beautiful light
show. Huge ribbons of gold and red fluorescent were spun to create
the illusion of fire. Fluorescent clubs were juggled and spun, making
circles of juddery light, followed by fluorescent poi's and sticks
that leapt and danced as if alone.
At
times you felt that the show had become lost in itself as a woman
dressed in a fluorescent outfit jumped about a bit. But the spinning
clubs would soon transfix your gaze and we wandered home happy.
