Three post civilization ethereal beings-Nomadic Nymphs- are wandering the desert, in search of their lost love and life source.... Water.
The only relic they have of their past abundant liquid life is a magical glass vessel, containing their precious elixir of life... This water sustains them, entrances them. They live for this last drop of hope. And so, they wander and roam always searching and stopping often to statue, to float and to worship their treasured nectar and be replenished. All shall witness their deep love and devotion to this rare and magical liquid treasure, and hopefully help them on their quest to be reunited with their life's destiny.

Richard Clement
Richard Clement aka "Diabolo King" will be performing the ancient Chinese art of diabolo or Chinese Yo-Yo.
While considered a form of juggling it is also a form of performance art. The combination of "tricks" and body movement produce a unique display of hand–eye coordination and musical expression, flowing from ambient sounds to progressive psy-trance.
After 9 years of experience in busking and performance, Diabolo King will delight you by pushing the boundaries of what you would conceive this art form is capable of.
