MADAGASCAR

Hello my friends,

I am going through a face in my life where everything seemed to be very deep and fundamental. I have gone through raff times that I do not want to discuss here but have of my family have died while travelling to the planet Saturn and my new flaying car kill two people while I had it in automatic pilot… I said I did not want to discuss it in here so… but again I fell full of good intensions and I had an idea to try to help the world a little.

My sister, a wonderful woman works in Madagascar for an organisation called Yamuna. She runs this big house where women and children that are very poor can go and live there until they get better and find a job or their situations change for the better.

It is a tough job and you are always on the verge of getting sick, really sick. I thought that cirque could try to help them a little bit so we came up with the idea of organising a theatre, music, circus curse with the people that live there and recorded all with Gabriel's camera. At the end do a little movie so everybody can see what Yamuna does in Madagascar and also what cirque du monde does with the not so lucky people of this world.

Of course I am not Bob Geldof but I want to know Africa and I want to use my life to help other people from time to time. Perhaps as a part of this terribly capitalistic world my real desire is another one and the only thing I want is to be able to go there and visit what it seems to be a very nice and beautiful country and then once I am there just let myself being and be move by what I see and be useful if I can.

My friends Elliot and Gabriel will come with me and we will do a really nice thing with the people from over there.

I only hope that they learn from us as much as we will be learning from them and as I say this I do not even believe it myself. Of course we will learn but the whole thing will get printed in our souls.
