Woodford Folk Festival 2005
Chinese Sprit Show
An Illusionistic Dance Spectacle
This massive sideshow attraction takes festival Art the step further, into a grand theater of spectacle and illusion The Chinese Sprit Show is a magical vision. A towering black dragon with red fiery scales that defies gravity by raising up to clasp a fire ball. The outer claws hold up shallow plates for a surrealist troupe of beautifully made up dancers, musicians and circus acrobats. The charactors inhabit this ghostly realm where they float, disappear and reappear under a phantasmagoric power. The Dragon set and ambience is reminiscent of a Victorian China town, passers by will be wondering how, why and what is going to happen next?
