Canada Shadows

The Canadian Shadow players are a group of Vancouver Pata physicians who specialize in the esoteric study of umbrology. This video is the document of their explorations. In it we are led deep into the shadows of civilization. God and the devil discuss the Manachean play of light and dark; Doctor Faustrol encounters the Snoutfigs; the Vogue lady falls in love with Monseur Michaud, inventor of the safety bicycle. The songs of the shadow world are sung in Latin, English and Pygmy Adlib, a polyglot Òlingua franca that renders the text understandable to all tongues.
