More puppets from the Return scene. I believe these puppets are pregnant skeletons. Pregnant with life; representing life and death dancing together. You should really go here to find out how it all breaks down. :)
This is from the fourth and final scene, Roar!. The rooster calls everyone to roar with energy and liveliness.
Then there's the snail. My friend was telling me that the snail represents the end of the scenes. I think the snail is also supposed to represent the universe, so i guess this makes sense that at the end of the day, we are a minute part of the universe.
After the snails, the Join-In Section of the parade starts. This is where anyone can participate and represent their causes or to just plain dress up and have fun. We didn't stick around too much longer after that. There is a festival at Powderhorn park that everyone was heading to and that's where we went too. I think i have a few pics of that too...
Anyone can sit on a curb and watch a parade. The vast majority of parades involve high school bands, companies tossing loads of candy into the street that causes more disruption than fun, propaganda shoved in your face, and pretty much chaos on crack.
What sticks out in my mind about this parade... it was a calm chaos. Loads of people on the curbs cheering on the participants in the parade. The parade went by and we watched. We didn't have to dodge kids stampeding to get a candy, we didn't have to sit on our hands so that we didn't accidentally grab a flyer that would just be garbage anyways... we just sat, and watched. How simple and easy and enjoyable.
