I was reading their interview in the papers and they were talking about how they try to sense what the audiences like better and try and give more of them. Whether its the speeches, dancing or singing or even their show off antics.

I personally loved the speech bit and if i didnt know it was losely based on the Reagan-Gorbachev talks, my guess would be East-West Germany.

i saw the Summit a few weeks ago when it came to Pune and LOVED it although the two chaps were putting in a lot of french and Spanish words in the gibberish -- absolutely adored their acrobatics (Is that the words). They aren't brothers though -- just colleagues and one of them used to play bass for a band from what I remember. When it was put on here, the guys spent some 20 min before the show waiting for the audience to shut up. was very strange: they just sat on those two chairs of theirs and waited , looking rather a lot like disgruntled schoolteachers who are too polite to say anything

I would personally love to see this show but I am not sure if it will ever play here but seems like an interesting take on politics

Alka: No, i don't go to any place because its "in"... except maybe the odd pub i try once in a while.

Wandy: thats a good thought. Silence in public places vis-a-vis in private...

W-Bug: Wish you had whispered in my ears ;)

Well you've surely given it a thought!!! More than I've had time to :-( I agree that speech is only one side of any human interaction, we managed to understand everything despite their talking gibberish! In other words, tones, actions and gestures speak a whole lot more than words.

I wasn't uncomfy with the silence?! I like the suspense and expectation rather. Nice time to whisper comments to the person on your side too! Hehe

Sounds like worth a watch...wonder if it'll come to this dump at some time.

Language and communication are interesting topics...cognitive and cultural understanding help..though a lot needs to be explored....

A level of comfort with silence comes usually in more individualistic places than collectivistic ones ~ but its an interesting observation!! take care!!

It seems a nice show. You have given an apt account ( Fact that shows you don't go to these places just because they are "in thing" :-)).
It is true how we are at the mercy of the people who command the majority of the resources. An irony of every age and system.
