Below: Photos cannot do justice to this
show, but Karen Duquette does not know how to add videos to this page.
It may not show in these pictures, but the artists shown below would
turn their back to the audience and then VERY QUICKLY turn around in
about 1/4 of a second, and her face mask would be completely different. |

Below: There was a lot more to this show than what
Karen Duquette photographed. But it was not as long as last year's show
was. |
