Sharjah24: Computers may or may not be able to think on their own yet but they certainly can strut their stuff in style, as amazed visitors to the 15th Sharjah Children’s Reading Festival (SCRF) found out this week.
The 12-day festival’s unique Digital Disguise act came to an end on Wednesday after five days of enthralling the young and old alike, but not before the duo – in computer heads – wowed their loyal set of fans, one last time.
Walking around the premises of Expo Centre Sharjah, the duo broke into unique dance moves as part of the act, swaying to popular beats with young visitors joining them in numbers. What made them a standout act was their colourful costumes adorned with remarkable faux PC monitors as headgears harking back to the retro years when computers were still coming of age.
The much loved interactive act was one of the many live shows taking place at this year’s SCRF that features a diverse array of over 1,500 cultural, creative, and edutainment activities led by 265 esteemed guests representing 25 countries, alongside the participation of 186 publishers from 20 nations.
Held under the theme 'Once Upon a Hero,' the annual festival, being organised by the Sharjah Book Authority (SBA), will come to a close on May 12.
