slow tv and Maestro at Coca Cola cinema during PRAVDA workshop in Vilnius. Chapter 8: fan club

slow tv, Maestro and Just Try Me at Coca Cola cinema during PRAVDA workshop in Vilnius. Chapter 6: break
During this break between the two performances of the film festival while the Maestro rested, Just try me attempted to reconstruct the shape of the room they are about to perform in using play bricks. This is a proven method used by Monkey Bwoy Productionsâ„¢ to give any of our collaborators a sense of place in the difficult world we all live in.

slow tv and Just Try Me at Coca Cola cinema during PRAVDA workshop in Vilnius. Chapter 3: preparation for the performance. These young ladies are the premier dance outfit in Lithuania supporting and supported by many major acts in and around Vilnius even sometimes as far afield as Kaunas! Pravda Film Festival are hugely honored and surprised that we managed to book this fantastic troupe. Here you see the girls after they have been “whited up” (The Maestro refuses to be seen with black dancers as he only likes to pimp young white girls), and are having the finishing touches applied to their make-up by Olga the wardrobe woman.

slow tv and Maestro at Coca Cola cinema during PRAVDA workshop in Vilnius. Chapter 2: rehearsal 1.
Met with Jolanta, Manager of the Coca Cola plaza, she showed us round and we made decisions about choreography/ where the performances would take place etc. After much argument we finally backed down and said Maestro would perform even though we were not allowed to paint over the Coca cola wall and replace the bottles with the MonkeyBwoyâ„¢ logo. The compromise agreement was that we would be allowed to present our own special prize during the Pravda film festival ceremony.
