I’ve continued to enjoy the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, and I’m pretty sad that it’s all coming to an end. The best street performance by far, Choi Sori & Arirang’s fusion of riveting Korean percussion and “extreme martial arts” provided some great opportunities for photographs.

They began with traditional dances, the men wearing masks and the women swirling beautiful fans:

Then things got a little edgy. The lead dancers performed a sword dance, beginning with a salutation, as the blindfolded man rested his sword on the train of the woman’s gown. She placed a flower stem in her mouth and dangled a flower from each outstretched hand. Blindfolded, he lopped off the flowers, one by one.
