Our performing for this trip has ended!
We had our last performances for the Fringe out in the middle of Light Square on Saturday, and then moved everything down to Marion for their Sunday community festival. We had hundreds of people come through our set up, see the artwork that had been created here in Australia, along with the funny, sad, and down-right touching family stories and memories that people took the time to write down our our paper plates during our run here.
During the day we encouraged everyone to write down their stories to add to the boards, and we even had the chance to interview a number of people on our Park Bench. It was a great way for us to end our shows here in Australia. And the best part was we were parked right in front of a WONDERFUL old gum tree.
This week is our last week in Adelaide. We're busy taking apart all the bits and pieces of our set that we worked so hard to create, as well as make sure that we catch up with those who are near and dear to us...as we've not had much time to do so until now!
On Sunday we fly to New Zealand to catch up with some more friends, and try and make some future contacts (and new friends) so that we might possibly start performing there as well. If any of you know someone in New Zealand we should say hi to, let us know!!!
For now...we're going to take our HUGE box of plates, and start logging each and every one. Reading the stories offered by those who came to see our show is nothing short of humbling. It's good to be reminded that we are all family, and home can be anywhere you go in life.
Cheers,
Monique
