Well, one more year and LaStrada just started here in Graz. It actually began last friday (being today monday) but I wasnt able to assist unfortunately. I am particularly fond of this festival as a picture of it earned me a digital camera and another one a Daily Deviation in deviantArt.
Anyway, I will try to keep this blog as short-texted as possible (since i dont want to type that much) and focus a bit more on the pics. I would like to submit them to dA but that place is truly a mess lately, so I may post a few there, but most will go here.
Please forgive my lack of artistic taste for the actual presentations, I focused more on the visual and graphic side of them.
I hope you Enjoy this. Oh!, and dont be an idiot, watch the pics, dont steal them.
La Guarda Flamenca: Anda la Banda
Group of Falmenco Dancers and musicians. Very colorful, very full of life, very funny. I am unsure if they are comediants or dancers, but most likely both. I snapped pictures indiscrimantely as I thought everything was worth capturing.
Don't you dare messing with the spaniards

This girl was actually dancing during the show!
Cat fight!!!
A dream of any men: A floor carpeted with Flamenco dancers
The follow up of the fight, or more like the pre
These two were doing nothing but just chatting up, watching the girls, and oh yeah! playing the music.
And say cheese!, goodbye dear performers, you were awsome!
Théâtre Rouge : Avec Fraternité
I am not sure what the hell this was, but it was definitely an interesting show. Very expressive, scary at times, cute at others. And it surely made people feel connected with the actors.
It all started in Faerberplatz
Motion
They were very curious creatures
On the way in Glockenspielplatz
They also got curious in Stempfergasse
Admire them
Ready to say goodbye
But at the end an intimate moment, when a member of the public cried under so much emotion. I felt a bit dirty for photographing this moment, but i had to.
Compagnie Jo Bithume : La Fanfare
Unfortunately I didnt get any good pics from the show itself, it was way too crowded, however, i hope i can catch them the rest of the week. It was a fun show with lots of musicians and comedy shorts. Heheheh, listening to the translation from french to german was hilarious.
People wanted to see the show, no matter from where
I couldnt see anything!
Except the shadow of what was going on
Maybe is because im short
But this won the price for the best perspective
If anybody is in Graz this week, or in Austria for that matter, dont miss this festival, is worth it.
