The Day Rababou Burned
02 Mar 2014 Some videos from Carnaval today in Fribourg, ending with the burning of the wood thief Rababou. Basically an acid trip where everyone is speaking in a foreign language (well because they were). Most surreal moment: the guy dressed asSet up for this one: we are in a wall to wall sea of people walking behind the parade into Place de Petit St-Jean square in Fribourg’s Vieux Ville. It feels like this only more cramped.
A bit of Rababou’s trial. He had no real defence and for each charge read the crowd wailed “Rababouuuuu”.
