On Saturday night I went to a performance by The Tiger Lillies at La Maison de la Musique in Nanterres (a small town outside of Paris).
The show was called The Rime of the Ancient Mariner.
The show was called The Rime of the Ancient Mariner.
It was a collaboration between the band and visual artist Mark Holthusen, with constant animated video projections throughout.
It was cool for a bit, but it quickly became repetitive and boring...and because the theatre was so dark, the seats were so nice and cushiony, the music was so slow and moody, and the visuals were so dreamy...I fell asleep.
I'd never seen The Tiger Lillies before, but I'd heard of them. They have a reputation for doing really cool dramatic performances. And tonight's show was definitely unique for a band, which I appreciate, but I didn't think it worked. It was basically just one big long (live) music video.

Also had the mandatory pint of Guinness for St Patrick's Day....
...and hung out with some new friends Amanda has met through ex-pat websites. We went Karaoke-ing with them last night too! Great to meet new people outside of school :)

Sunday:
Cue to cue and run through of the show. Odd being at school on a Sunday! I have many quick changes! But it's going to be great :)
