French Pink Inflatable Men Invade British Supermarket

As part of the Birmingham International Dance Festival these four pink men that look like sumo wrestlers invading the British Supermarket Tesco. It all started off at the Victoria Square and they are dancing/ wobbling bumping into the bewildered shoppers in the Birmingham City centre in England. They started at the Victoria square by the British museum and moved on from there towards and into the Birmingham supermarket. A huge crowd followed the vibrant, unusual performers up the escalator to the upper floor of the shop. Where they choose the big windows so everybody outside could still watch them perform. One of the pink man decided to take some toilet rolls of the shelfs and start throwing them to the other guy. They kept throwing the pack backwards and forwards. They were having fun playing catch. You can just hear a guy saying that the security hasn’t said anything yet. Another saying “ You can do anything when you’re dressed up like this” Apparently the supermarket did not know about this invasion. They just had this idea on the day. They bounced their way back to the escalator, but not in a normal way, they actually went down on the railing of the escalator all the way down. Walking out of the supermarket they got clapped by the entire crowd that watched them from below. Tesco has been a great supermarket that obviously enjoyed this strange and unexpected entertainment as no one of the security guys stopped them in their tracks. All a bit of fun for the crowd of the Birmingham city centre.

They are French performers part of an art group called La Grande Phrase with choreography Cie Didier Theron and are travelling to different cities to show their performance. Every act is different and they always wearing different inflatable suits.
