By fluke chance we've arrived in Santiago slap bang in the middle of their annual street theatre festival. This is no poky mime artists in tights affair, but a huge international event. We caught a truly spectacular night-time show by German group Titanick, involving a dervish-like parade of ramshackle flying machines, a singing Dark Angel (with brass backing band) and LOTS of pyrotechnics. Unfortunately we'll miss the latest performance by the group that brought the Sultan's Elephant to London at the end of the month, but hey ho, we can't do everything.
Note: if you're ever coming to Santiago, January is THE month.
