Parade II

More 'Parade' tips, cause I was there again last night: Avoid Fortuna's Wedding. It's slapstick, Benny Hill, Hi Di Hi, bad panto. Panorama Amsterdam 'Ontboezemingen' is almost literally a 'quickie' but more in spirit with (what I think) De Parade was all about than anything else I've seen so far (wasn't lucky with my choices). 'Moeder, Hoer of kwezel', Dutch classic plays reduced to their essence in 30 minutes is enjoyable. Bit of the old Dutch school of 'shouting is acting' type of thing (D'ya think Tom Cruise went to acting school in The Netherlands?), but some of the actors conjure up real emotion in a very short time span. Ended the day watching the 'Gorelev' ensemble, with the glorious Bob Fosko singing his dirty little heart out. And was that Arno I spotted in the audience?
