Bring the Noise

I love this photo. The kids are alarmed at the loud music, and amazed at the antics of the circus.
I’d better backtrack: Idea Czar / Multivore yrs truly wind up at Abacus for some dinner action. And proprietor Renaud had just arrived back in town with a circus in tow.
It seems after an April engagement (Tini Tinou festival) Centre d’Art Acrobatique Keita Fodeba / ‘Tinafan’ are now doing some collaboration with Battambang’s Phare Ponleu Selpak. If you’re going to come all the way out from Guinea, you might as well make the most of it, right?
The performers certainly did. We had a blast watching Phare and ‘Tinafan‘ do their stuff. A squadron of kids was there and were hugely entertained by the whole thing. We also ended up meeting Jet and Melanie (of SQWOUDJI / Betty Ford & GT Falcons fame) and discussed some tentative plans to Rock the ‘Reap the following day.
“That’s how we roll in Siem Reap,” I said as we headed back to our guest house. “And this is just Friday night.”
