But this kind of things are also useful to entertain people in campings and expeditions of all sorts. Sadly, these artistic abilities have been lost to a great degree in recent years; not so long ago, it was still common to see improvised artists performing in front of travellers of all kinds, mostly in the passenger decks of third class in those giant ships that crossed the oceans crowded with migrants who seldom received onboard entertainment provided by the shipping company. The appearance of aircraft as the main intercontinental transport technology has put an end to that because due to space and security reasons, passengers are not allowed to perform such acts. If in a plane the passengers begin to sing and dance, the crew will certainly put an end to the show and make everyone return to each seat. Besides, there is a psychological factor at stake too: airplane travel is so fast that no special bonds are formed between passengers. In the old days of long travel it was a common occurrence. But in the bigger spaces provided by ship decks in the old sail ships and steamers, things were different: there was plenty of room and no safety concerns for the most part, and people saw each other every day for long periods of time. It was indeed natural that group entertainment began to take shape. Today we enjoy better speeds, lower costs and the possibility of returning many times during our lives to the places that we once visited, but this incipient form of proletarian entertainment has been lost for the most part; however, among migrants, it served for many to discover unsuspected and surprising vocations. |
