We’re back and that’s the only negative point of this trip. This weekend (4-7 december 2009) we joined the Skena Up festival in Prishtina, Kosovo. With LnSaint to rock an after party (see the amazing review we got (it says in a lot of Albanian words that we are radical performers, brought energy and inspiration). ‘THUS’, by MTG BLONT & ‘HURAH’, a play by Menno Vroon, were presented in the theatre competition of this film & theatre festival. We got invited by Hana Qena, directing student and programmer of Skena Up and a dear friend after our Roll With It tour this summer. It was great to be back in Kosovo with the band and very exciting to experience the audience, confronting them with two quite strong proposals of mime theatre.

Sunday, after performing the last piece I got this overwhelming feeling, experiencing the power of communication through Performing Arts. The differences and boundaries disappear when the audience is touched by your proposal, difficulties in language are solved by hugs, a wink and some good old pantomime. Too bad we couldn’t stay longer. Now we did not get to see a lot of work by others…

I would like to thank everyone who supported us to get to Kosovo once more: This trip represents exactly why I do this, can’t wait till September, when LnSaint will travel through the Balkan again.
