Performing at a large theater - Bogota
Yesterday we were invited to perform at a theater for the National Food bank. Most of the time our stage is on the streets, parks, school court yards, prison patios and grass fields when working with the army, but to be on a big ritzy stage, with curtains and lighting was awesome! The magic routines I do with my sisters become like Cirque Du Sole performances on a stage and you don't have to work to keep the attention of the crowd because all eyes are on you. . The Food bank sponsors hundreds of foundations that work with kids, handicapped, street kids, displaced families and the homeless. This was a meeting for over seven hundred heads of the foundations.
After the performance all the heads of the foundations came up to us and asked us to work with them and take our presentation to their places and villages. God willing some day we will visit many of them. These nuns were really cool, they have a foundation for children with special needs and I really hope to go there some day. The whole experience was amazing, a great privilege and a lot of fun. We had to take all our equipment down a big elevated ramp and quietly set up back stage while the meeting was going on. We only ended up having fifteen minutes to get ready and mount all our sound equipment so we had to hurry like crazy and it was fun watching my family get in costumes and stage our acts in this setting, waiting for the curtains to open. I couldn't get to many good pictures because of the lightning and I had no time, sorry.
