ENTERTAINING At the shop
Bujaki Gyula places 10 porcelain bowls on a long bench and gives them a swirl with his fingers, one after another. When he reaches the end of the line, he runs back to the bowls at the beginning and using a small, thin stick spins them again. And the
n shifts his attention to the other end. He runs back and forth, repeating the sequence. The result: ten bowls keep spinning together as if they were tops.
He moves to a tougher manoeuvre – spinning two plates, each at the tip of a stick. Spinning, he deftly lengthens the sticks by dove-tailing each with another.
These are not scenes from a circus, but a busy textile retail outlet at T. Nagar. Gyula is one of the international entertainers Sri Krishna Collections (SKC) has signed on to perform at its Panagal Park and Purasawalkam outlets, 5.30 p.m. onwards everyday, till January 21, 2008.
SKC calls its New Year initiative “Shop With Fun Show”, which is “in addition to the usual festive offers and gifts”. These entertainers are quite a motley crowd, coming from different countries (Hungary, Bulgaria, Ukraine, Egypt and the United Kingdom) and specialising in different forms of entertainment arts.
Two other entertainers clown around with the children who have come shopping with their parents.
They indulge in make-believe games. They swing an imaginary skipping rope, jump over it and get three children to do the same.
In a ‘tug of war’, contested with the help of these children, they give the right facial expressions as they strain at an imaginary rope.
Gymnastic, acrobatic and dance performers form the rest of the fare.
