Festival of Fools
Rainy Belfast Sunday. In a place known as Bob Marley Square innocent magic happened. People crowded around performers wo made us laugh and cheer and forget our own little bubbles for a while. Children joined in and a French guy pulled down his pants to play bum-off with the performer. This is a form of sumo wher each person tries to push the other out of a small circle by pushing with his backside.
The Festival is under threat in these austere times. Its funding from the Arts Council has been cut by a third. It may not happen next year or the following.
I hope it does. We need all the innocent magic we can find.
