Experience
FastTrack / Korean Plank / Trampoline


This act signifies organized human society: productivity, play and brotherhood with the entire team working as a unit. Showcasing the amazing agility of the human body through spectacular sequences of aero-gymnastics and human pyramids.

The comic chorus, always present, always jolly, always laughing in the face of the pain of humanity. With their frivolous energy, these bouncing characters are like a virus contaminating the world of Mystère with an infectious folly. Perhaps they possess the true wisdom...

A pseudo three ring circus event takes place next. It starts out with the Korean Plank - also known as the teeterboard - then evolves into a near-miss trampoline (which is 'U' shaped) routine; followed by an acrobatic fast track spectacle. The combined songs of "En Ville/Frisco" accompany these highly energetic and dangerous performances. Like the performers rapidly swapping places, the jazz-influenced instrumental allows the band to shine. The two songs switch throughout featuring a jam session that begins with a melodious saxophone solo. Afterwards, the full band provides a furious multi-note passage that is followed by a couple measures of a drum beat that introduces a thumb-induced bass slap. And finally, the guitar and violin trade improvisational licks that, unfortunately, go unnoticed because of the action on stage.
