LaSalle: Voici Mississippi
| ACTION Four French ships represented by: 2 performers with wide black ribbon which is tied to their waists and stretched between them. Front performer holds lightest weight pole that will hold another nailed across it to which is attached lightest weight white material for sail. (muslim sold for cooking?) Back performer waves two very large fans up and down and blows audibly. Gestures to audience to help blow. link to breathing exercise. If there are 8 performers, four ships, so much the better.
heads of La Salle, M and Mde Talon holding new born, and 5 other children (who were lying flat in dark as ships arrived in front of them) pop up. Sing Charles Trenet's La Mer if they didn't sing it in an earlier scene -- maybe when Mde Talon became la mere de Talons for the 6th time.
