Allison, Oramas, & Brown

A number of artists in this year’s festival have used latex balloons in performance. Emily Promise Allison conducted a balloon orchestra during the Performance Cabaret at the SAAG, directing the onlookers in timed blowing, squeaking and farting. On Tuesday, Eduardo Oramas of Columbia thrilled the audience at Truck with athletic and jumping and popping. TouVA Offspring Rosemary Brown rolled a circus-coloured bin of balloons into the gallery and got the giggling audience to bat them around.
