3/16/2005: Snowmen mob Moscow



Thanks xoB. Apparently every year Moscow clown Vyacheslav Polunin puts on a "Snow Show" at Moscow’s Vakhtangov Theater, with mimes and clowns. This year they decided to establish dozens of snowmen on Moscow's Arbat Street as a prelude, and set up a new requirement for his clown college (full story):

Quote:
Every student in the Academy of Fools — or anyone who wants to join this “academy” - must take a final exam in January… by making a snowman.

In case the weather turns unpredictable, organizers set up a truck-full of snow for anyone wishing to pitch in.

The clown, meanwhile, expects that by the end of the month, there should be about a thousand snowmen in central Moscow.


One of them is a robot...
