hoopla!

This Easter long weekend Darling Harbour is hosting a Hoopla Festival. What is that you ask?Well it's just what it sounds like: 4 days * 100s of death-defying stunts * thousands of laughs

OOoooooohhhhhh! AHHHhhhhhhhh!
There is a big top and a tiny top. Contortionists and jugglers and magicians dazzle you with their oddly-developed skills. And most said that for fifty bucks, they'd go home with you to continue the fun. Hm.

Vincent and I agree that the Controlled Falling Experiment is the best. Three guys go through a series of "experiments" of acrobatics, gymnastics, and of course...falling with all sorts of contraptions and props. It is an elegant and spectacular show. Go see it.
