WOW






As you can tell from the pictures above it was just another regular day in Hong Kong (or not! ). These pictures are actually from the World of WearableArt (WOW) performance. I guess this was the first time they performed outside New Zealand. The show itself was "A unique fusion of art, fashion and theatre, where hundreds of performers don magnificent artworks created by designers from around the world in a spectacular of dance, music and light." I doubt I could have explained it better, but sorry for the quoting. It was absolutely amazing and unlike anything I had ever seen! As you can tell they didn't allow us to take pictures during the show and the only photo I was allowed to take was once it had ended (Probably not too hard to tell which one I took!). The show consisted of people dressed up in extremely weird outfits shaped like hamburgers, cars, and french toast. The woman dressed up as a horse reminded me of my dad and Ali, an example of one of the many random things that remind me of my family. I think my favorite was outfit was the Funky Fungi, but it may be just because he was shuffling ;). And I know this is not going to make much sense but my favorite part was when the glow- in-the-dark stick figures starting dancing. But before I confuse you all even more, in sum, it was a great experience! I honestly thank my late grandmother for introducing me not only to performance art but to everything else because without her, I don't know if I would be able to truly appreciate these types of experiences.

  3. Kristopher! lol. And Victor, I have actually never seen Cirque Du Soleil, but I can imagine that they are somewhat similar. :) Thanks for reading my blog. I don't really update everyday but when I do, I try to catch everyone up with what I've done. I'd love to read your story when you finish it. Hong Kong is an amazing place.
