Dear Shaded Viewers,
I was impressed with the performance put together by Uta Bekaia & Ideal Glass NY in Maastricht. Entitled "The Purple Jester", it combined dance, fashion and music, creating an eerie -and slightly disturbing- atmosphere, which captivated the audience. It was theatrical, striking and absurd at the same time. Think Leigh Bowery meets Rondo Veneziano.
