In the school tent they could be anywhere in the world, Madrid or Montreal. Some have been on the road around the world for years, taking their classroom with them, with strange cities for playgrounds. Some of their parents are also in school, with an assistant coach. Hard to tell out of their makeup, but it looks like the human pendulums who swing and fall like chimps on a sugar high. They are lined up on the stage, watching the coach stretch a leg out in dramatic flexed fashion while throwing out his arms as if he's falling and trying to catch a rope.
