Shpongle at Austin’s Manifestation Celebration last Saturday…
May 8th, 2010 | 
Author: It was “just” Simon Posford last night – he’s a trip and consummate showman/dandy/brilliant musician – with a DJ station and a number of dancers. The projections were incredible – a feedback/strange loop via a live vid feed that made the resulting images look like you were moving back and forward through time. The dancers looked like the were simultaneously in the past, present and future is the only way to describe. Like 20th century noughts/teens/20s footage of early film and the women reminded me of Theda Bara. There were male dancers too…I liked that!
And the costumery – whoa. Like Byzantium and Egypt and Mesopotamia and Teotihuacan and Cirque due Soleil and Steampunk all rolled into one. What a feast for the senses. Wasn’t bored one minute watching the show (rare for me)…. Truly amazing.
