Mobile Arts Parade

• Mobile Arts Parade – Lap Sap Human Orchestra – Fringe Festival – Macao, October, 2005

The Fringe Festival promotes the arts and the street performances, and is organized in Macao once a year, counting on the participations of artists from all around the world. The BrainStorming Creations participated in this festival by creating and encouraging others to create, working the concepts of reusing and recycling, using the music expression as a vehicle.
The Mobile Arts Parade consisted in the construction of a couch where all the used materials, were reused, collected from many different places. The couch was a musical instrument itself, where lots of people could play music on wheels. The message was understandable: instead of staying home, laying on the couch, come to the streets, create, play music, and try to react to the destruction of the planet.
The parade started at the Ruins of S. Paul and ended at the Senado Square, with the participation of lots of artists and hundreds of people that joined the party.
