Edinburgh at Festival times brings together all the best in street entertainment from across the world. With acts from Scotland, England, Australia, New Zealand, USA, Canada, France, Japan, Portugal and Israel.
The draw of Edinburgh as a venue for street entertainers is great. It brings to the streets acts as diverse as jugglers to clowns, sword swallower’s to escape artists. Acrobats to mime artists.
There are shows that amuse and have you laughing days after. There are shows that enthral with skill and dexterity. Some shows have heart stopping stunts. Others have heart wrenching moments.
There are shows that every moment is filled with energy from start to finish. Others that are just story telling in its universal form.
Lino and Sivouplait were two of this the last category of street theatre. Beautiful theatre played in the art form of mime and body language.
They played the street against the odds of juggling giants. These two David’s held their own, if on occasion leaving their audience a little confused as to the outcome of the piece.
For me something new, refreshing and original. Beautiful entertainment played out on the streets of Edinburgh’s historic Royal Mile.
