Procol Harum in Wuppertal, 5 April 2013

Friday's gig • official photography by Andre Scollick (4)

Each night there were reports of audience members' jumping out of their skins, metaphorically, when they became aware of the
entry, through the audience, of the Simple Sister dancers

They don't look as if they've got whooping cough

Hands and arms, an important part of the dancing

Eerie, fascinating, not-entirely-explicable dancing ... very Procol Harum

Highly pleasing that the two lead dancers – Jo Ann Endicott and Bénédicte Billet – are not wearing the same colour

Amazing the effects they created, given the small space at their disposal

Though it was the same song that had been danced to at The Barbican in 1996, this choreography bore little relation to the foregoing

Scare off all the boys?

Other participants in the weirdly-fractured dance narrative

And much work for the follow-spot operators

A blast of limelight for the back desk of the first violins

Much more watchable than so-called 'twerking' is

Red shoes ...

So, which is the Simple Sister?

Geoff Dunn's attention is firmly elsewhere

All very, very intriguing.
