Everything has flown fast here in Cd. Juárez. By now, Carolina Pizarro, is in Santiago, Chile. A month has gone. She came to show us how it is to transform the crap into flowers.

"Women performers in Brisbane invited us to dinner and a show. On the menu was the question of women’s visibility as contributers to performance, and what followed was an eclectic after dinner Cabaret of local performance talent."

This was followed by the traditional opening round (pictured below) where artists and participants from Albania to Japan as well as the Spanish-speaking world introduced themselves.
