Festival CiRCa – 1st day

Started this years festival with a bang – Cie Samuel Mathieu and « Guerre » in the Salle Bernard Turin – excellent stuff.

Not easy to photograph as there were several extended periods of silence, and/or near darkness…but I managed a few decent shots IMHO.

This was followed by a concert at the Cri’Art – a Californian band called The Lords of Altamont – their music is described as ‘Garage’ – what can I say…

This guy is the singer/keyboard player – after the first number he threw his keyboard off the stage – I went to see the manager to find out why and it seemed he had managed to tear the plug off the power lead. Needless to say McGiver Grandjean managed to repair the cable and he was able to play to the end of the set…(Frankly can’t say whether that’s good or bad – the level was so high I couldn’t actually hear anything anyway, certainly not the famous Farfisa organ…)

Three more spectacles today – speak later…
