Rise

A procession in the city created on the occasion of Flon Art, 2015.
 
A woman walks with her queen-cohort of musicians in the streets of the Flon area to the sound of popular music. Her costume is borrowed from various religious and popular symbolic figures, a hybrid of some sort between traditional and pop culture.
 
She is the queen, the figurehead of this event because, a representative and she launches the festivities.
 
Solemnly, she walks towards a stage accompanied by her marching band. Through the sound of a drumroll, she blows a bubble with pink chewing gum. She proceeds to explode it, she then raises her skirts releasing a bouquet of balloons that could be explosive too.
 
Then, in all simpleness, she departs with the faithful festive sound of her benevolent companions of ceremony.
