"They
are ten musical mechanical toys dressed like soldiers, with heavy make
up, smiling and wandering with large and curious loudspeakers hanging
over their heads. In their midst, a gracious and fragile diva seems
lost and searching. Dressed in a long 1900s robe, a heavy pearl necklace
and a medusa like head piece made of 35mm film, she wanders about, her
mind lost in her own thoughts. Her mysterious gestures seem to indicate
a direction which the toys accept as theirs. Sometimes chaos erupts,
the toys assail the diva or scatter in all directions. Not a word is
said; simply an extremely surprising and complex score blaring out from
each toy's loudspeaker: marching band, opera, waltz, animals cries,
even disrupted telephone conversations. A fascinating procession during
which the identity of the diva remains hidden while the attitudes and
postures of the soldiers will leave many in awe. A bright and poetic
event, a momentary and turbulent dream, a very curious story, a revelation
which disappears without the obligatory salute in a rave of applaud."
