Months of work goes into costumes and practising for the children's parade, which this year has the theme of stories and storytelling from ancient myths to modern graffiti art.
Anyone expecting the rich and tightly crafted set of back stories that support the plot and theme of what happens when the "men of the mind" go on strike will be disappointed.
The idea that we are born knowing how to handle the greatest challenges of life is a theme that runs throughout eastern and western cultures in the major myths, religious texts and popular stories of our time.
So, I would say it is a worth the time to read through the various stories.. A good deal of passion shows through the writing and is a key theme across the book, another work ethic of today.
