"Gade Teater Fesitval"

We went to the "Gade Teater Festival" in Helsingør to see some street performances. All were well practiced and done with talent, though there was some that I enjoyed more than others. The first one we saw, was called Mable and Billie. It was originally preformed in America. I thought that it was very cute and incredibly funny and talented as well as practiced both Mable and Billie had colorful wigs, outfits and makeup that improved the act even more.

The next one that we went to was a bit dramatic and I did not like the story or message that was sent out. I know that it was based on realistic things, but I felt frightened and scared when I saw it. I think that it took a lot of talent to preform and it was well preformed though I suggest that they shouldn't put it on the kids list for the "Gade Teater Fesitval". 
After that performance, we went to see a magician. It was very funny and the magician involved the audience (and spoke Australian English) which made it even better! A couple times, he would go out and scare some people passing by and twice he took someone's cigarette and smushed it on the ground! At the end he went into a small box and had someone poke sticks into the holes while he was inside! 

After that, we went to a French play based on a retirement home (sounds pretty exciting... ; D). I don't think that it was very good... While the retirement home based play was going on, there were monkey looking people walking by chained up with police around them... Cool! We left the play and went over to see what was going on. There was a huge cage with the monkey looking people inside. They were acting like monkeys. I thought that it was pretty wired that people would dress up like monkeys and go into a cage and act like monkeys for 180 minutes. That's just my opinion. 

After that interesting monkey exhibit, we went over to a hoopla hoop show. The lady preforming was  from Australia and she was very talented. She was also very funny and entertaining. Throughout the show, she gave out flowers to the people who "clapped the best". The last person that she gave flowers to was a man and while doing that, she asked him to help her by holding up a golden hoola hoop ring on one knee. Next thing you know you hear, "I do!" She cracked everyone up by getting married and joking around with her new "husband".

The last two things that we saw were at the same theatre. One was a magician and the other was the "incredible gummy man". We just saw the end of the magician act and it was really good by being well practiced and mysterious. After that awesome performance, we saw "the incredible gummy man"- that was pretty incredible (mostly by being gross). He would bend in very disturbing ways and also cuss a lot. The act was outright disgusting and when people laughed at him falling over I felt bad for him. 
  We left when the "incredible gummy man" was done getting 2 empty tenis rackets off his body. On the way home, my mom's friend, Mete, called. She asked if we were available to come and visit in Copenhagen. That's what we did and it turned out to be a very nice day.
