Tribute to the victims in Paris
The terror attacks in Paris on 7th and 8th of January shocked most of us. But it released a flood wave of cartoons, which still shows no sign of petering out. The drawer of Asterix, Urdezo, came out of retirement to pay his tribute. It touched me deeply!
Florent Amodio – Parla più piano
Florent Amodio skated in the French ice gala Les Étoiles de la Glisse in Courchevel in December 2013. Amaury Vassili sang Parla più piano. And how he entered the ice!

Pinocchio
I never had the opportunity to see the French musical Pinocchio, but I watched some videos and I’m eagerly waiting for the DVD. Nuno Resende played Maître GriGri (Pinocchio’s conscience). What an artist he is! He acts, sings, dances, and even does acrobatic numbers – all with the same ease. Here’s the opening number “L’espoir de grandir”.
Thank you Femmka for recording and sharing it!
