Amococo

The Adelaide Fringe Festival was on again in February 2010. It's an arts festival that runs over several weeks, and acts from all over the world attend - comedians, theatre companies, stunt groups, and more. In the past, we've seen Hale and Pace (comedians), and the Shaolin Monks (martial arts/stunts). This time, we went to Amococo. It's a huge grey "tent", though it doesn't look like any tent you've ever seen before. It's made from 86 interconnecting domes, with small coloured panels added here and there - it's the sunlight streaming through these panels that gives the interior such awesome colours. Walking through it was like walking inside a balloon - or a huge beach-ball! It's air-conditioned, but it was still quite warm in there (it was also very hot outside, though!). We found a dome with an air vent, and sat down for a bit while we watched the girls explore.....
