moving on to the Olympic
Arts Festival. Before the
show begins you know it will
be bizarre from the set lit-
tered with junk and
paraphernalia of a worksite.
As the lights come up, the
audience is given plenty of

time to observe the tools,
crumpled tarp, buckets,
lockers, and junk before the
comedy begins.

The actors of the first
scene are the machines and
stray bits on the stage. One
by one they start up, saw,
drill, spray can, sander,
hghts and buckets all have
their own life and
personality, and one is con-
stantly on the lookout to see
which piece will start up
next.

As the three human actors
make their appearances they
become the background for
the amazing set.

Dressed like workmen, Jos

de Pauw, Pat Van
Hemerlrijkc, and Dirk
Pauwels, have little in

common with normal
workers, just as their tools
have different ideas about
their uses.

The action is continuous
as the actors move from
mime to giberish, to song.
There is little intelligible
dialogue but there is a great
deal of noise. After an
evening of machine noises,
loud music, and confused
shouting more than one
person seemed to be suffer-
ing headache symptoms.

with great cleverness, always

Along with the comedy is
an undercurrent of violence,
personal and political, that
runs through Scaffoldings,
which is reflected in the
splashes of red paint, and
