Street Festival continues
Went to the Street Festival yesterday again. My wife and youngest was with me. We walked from Eglinton to St. Clair, to catch the Arts. My daughter was impressed with the classical music being played by the Toronto Philharmonia Quintets, but not the Jazz by the Laura Hubert Trio. I wasn't impressed by either. We also saw the "Dy-no-mite" Cirque - which was a couple of women performing high wire acts to thumping dance music ... sorry, but it was kind of crass and undisguised in its pandering to the macho male audience, who were more interested in seeing two big-breasted women in tight clothes, prance about in the heat. It was not the circus I wanted to see. The Men in Tights also left something to be desired. I've seen these guys a number of times already, and they've got the same damn act, the same jokes ... get something new guys. The only thing worthwhile at St. Clair was the Al-Lat Dance Company - they performed some amazing dance moves to thumping music. We walked back pretty quickly to Eglinton after being unimpressed with St. Clair. At Eglinton, my daughter got to see Strange Fruit. Same show as yesterday, but they were impressive. We caught the ending 10-minutes of their act, but it was great! We also saw Bedlam Oz perform their "Familie" act. Impressive! Who thought that giant slinkies could invoke such emotion or be so impressive? (Pictures of the act will be posted soon.)
