The Osadia theatre company, formed in Barcelona in 1996, created the most awesome spectacle at the 2004 Womadelaide festival in Australia.
Their elaborate Geisha and Versailles inspired costuming together with matching attitude made the complete experience high drama - from the theatre of choosing their subjects, the efficient transformation of their hair and face through to the presentation of their completed pygmalion to the waiting crowd (all eager to be chosen next).
And watching these lucky chosen few over the remainder of the weekend, their teflon make-up and hair dye set immaculately, it was clear that they too had acquired some sublime Osadia attitude particularly whilst being adored and treated as walking artworks by other punters. See some of them in my slideshow.
