Dozens of venues throughout the downtown Rochester area are participating in the fifth annual KeyBank <a href=\"https:\/\/nysmusic.com\/2024\/06\/25\/jazz-festival-livens-up-rochester\/\">Rochester<\/a> Fringe Festival, featuring more than 500 music, art, and theatrical performances over a 10-day timeframe. I spent the evening at Parcel 5, the site on Main Street on which Midtown Plaza once stood. The plan for tonight was to catch a theatrical performance by French troupe Plasticiens Volants and a set of music by local legends <a href=\"http:\/\/www.teaganandthetweeds.com\/\">Teagan and The Tweeds<\/a>.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_219763\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-219763\" style=\"width: 1600px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-219763 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/dev.nysmusic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/IMG_3074.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1067\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-219763\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Teagan and The Tweeds<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Upon approach to Parcel 5, I heard strains of syncopated reggae rhythms filling the air. Festival goers lingered around the lot, some heading closer to the stage, and others staring in fascination at props for the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.plasticiensvolants.com\/\">Plasticiens Volants<\/a> show, and others joining the lines of food trucks parked along the street. Reggae music, courtesy of Rochester\u2019s Noble Vibes, gave way to the sound of bagpipes from Rochester Scottish Pipes and Drums, as people continued to pour into the square.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-219762\" src=\"https:\/\/dev.nysmusic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/IMG_3023.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1067\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The sun went down, and the lights came up on the far end of the lot. Plasticiens Volants began to perform a show they call \u201cBig Bang.\u201d Although the French street performance troupe was founded in 1976, this is their first time on tour in the US.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-219757\" src=\"https:\/\/dev.nysmusic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/IMG_2729.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1067\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Curiosity abounded as people young and old were drawn to viewing a video projected onto an inflatable globe. Narration spoke about the origin of life. A film began, which showed the evolution of civilization. The significance of the experience was not lost on those who grew up in Rochester, the birthplace of modern photography and film.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-219759\" src=\"https:\/\/dev.nysmusic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/IMG_2803.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1067\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Shadow puppets were incorporated into the visuals, and speakers pumped world music with a heavy techno beat. Suddenly, large inflatable balloons came to life, lifted by puppeteers who carried them through the crowd. Seashells and fantastical beasts and planets soared above the crowd, dipping and swaying to the music.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-219751\" src=\"https:\/\/dev.nysmusic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/IMG_2840.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1067\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Children on tiptoe stretched their arms to the star-studded sky to brush the balloons with their fingertips. The music and narration told the story of The Big Bang as a sci-fi fantasy.\u00a0The magnificently choreographed spectacle ended in a light display, with mirrors like facets of diamonds catching spotlights and splaying beams of light across the city skyline.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-219758\" src=\"https:\/\/dev.nysmusic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/IMG_2789.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1067\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Teagan Ward of Teagan and The Tweeds posted a video of Platiciens Volants on social media as they prepped for their set, the final event of the night at this location. People gravitated towards the stage as the band cranked out boot-stomping tunes.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-219752\" src=\"https:\/\/dev.nysmusic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/IMG_3076.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1067\" \/><\/p>\n<p>This was my first time seeing the band, and I was completely enraptured.

Drummer Alfredo Encina provided a strong backbone and bassist Jeremy Stoner laid down grooves as deep as the day is long. They provided a foundation for Katy Wright\u2019s stellar performance on the keys and Lou Giglio\u2019s fancy fretwork. Tommy Formicola took it on home with his pedal-steel guitar.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-219764\" src=\"https:\/\/dev.nysmusic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/IMG_3098.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1067\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The people behind me must have been fans, because they knew all the words to \u201cMorning Glory\u201d and \u201cGive It Up or Let Me Go.\u201d They even played a new song, \u201cRoute 100.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-219753\" src=\"https:\/\/dev.nysmusic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/IMG_3121.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1067\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Elsewhere, the city-wide party was still going strong. A silent disco was about to rage around the corner at the Speigeltent. Attendees donned headphones, through which they could switch between channels as three DJ\u2019s in the tent dueled for the crowd\u2019s favor. The dance wound down at 2am. (If you missed it, don\u2019t worry, they\u2019ll do it again on Saturday September 16, Friday September 22, and Saturday September 23.)<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-219767\" src=\"https:\/\/dev.nysmusic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/IMG_3257.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1067\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Plasticiens Volants will reprise their performance on Saturday, September 16 at 8pm.
