Tableaux Vivants, Lag & Sim Crashes

"Lag is a state of mind" a wise, semi-old but still extremely hot and sexy avatar once said, who´s name escapes me at the moment.

That is of course very true but sometimes SecondLife tries it´s very best to destroy a good party. Terrible lag, a sim crash and a sim restart almost succeeded at Kandinsky Beaumont´s and Apmel Goosson´s party at Solace Island yesterday. Luckily most of us who were there were old troopers at dealing with such misfortunes and we came back as soon as it was possible every time.
Tableaux vivants means "living pictures". The term describes a group of suitably costumed actors or artist's models carefully posed and often theatrically lit. Throughout the duration of the display, the people shown do not speak or move. The approach thus marries the art forms of the stage with those of painting/photography. (Wikipedia).

"The Extraordinary Adventures of Kikas and Marmaduke" give SecondLife a humorous and modern day interpretation of this 19th century art form. No show is ever the same because of the interaction with the audience at each performance.

Due to the delay caused by the misfortunes I unfortunately could not stay through the whole show and the party afterwards but had to log off at midnight, but as long as I was there I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Without further ado, here are some pictures from the show. Please note that I am only showing a few of the pictures and not in the order the tableaux were presented.
Enthralled audience; Bock, Emarald, Mid, Ziga, Blanche, Kandi & Apmel

Besides myself, the sim was full of all the avantgarde art elite in SecondLife. Here are a few more shots of the audience.

Early Notice for Sunday

"Kikas and Marma are back!
Extraordinary Adventures in an Uncontrollable Environment of Unexpected Dangers and Temptations has struck them while the rest of us have been trotting on safely in our dull everyday lives.
But they managed to document all and now they will give us proof of their survival ability!
All this gibberish means: a totally new show, all scenes are new and never before shown!
Have you never seen Kikas and Marma? Be sure not to miss them, they are unique entertainers.
Come see them at Place des Petits Bourgeois (SLurl) now on Sunday the 5th! The show starts at 1PM SL-time.

Shortly after 2PM there will be music and dance and DJ is the excellent Eifach (Url), well known from at least a couple of worlds.
Be safe, be in good time!
Kandinsky Beaumont and Apmel Goosson"

I will be there for sure, especially to check out that DJ Eifach. Back in 2007 I did a translation to Swedish for a German film about SecondLife for someone named Eifach. I wonder if it could be the same guy...?
