Kosmos from SPAIN!

Managed to catch the Kosmos performance at the closing ceremony of Singapore Arts Festival outside Lot 1 last night... Here's a few "clearer" pictures, I am afraid the nicer ones are in videos formats... It is always not easy to take night photos with minimum fuzziness... Flash is forbidden lest the performers will be distracted and lose their balance... I can only describe the wold performace in one word: SPECTACULAR! The entire team was hauled up in the metallic sphere by a crane... At some point in time, they were performing death-defying stunts at a height which is tallers than the condominium at the back drop....

Yea, it was a good attempt to bring arts to the heartlanders... But it will be quite sometime before the maturity of the arts scene in Singapore will match up to those on the international arena... But with the immense resources directed to invite award-winning performers to perform in Singapore... Perhaps it is time to invest more in our own local arts... We need to have our very own Singaporeans hanging up there in the metallic sphere!!!
