A bare-footed Frenchman performing on a moving piano drew curious attention at Tampines Round Market and Food Centre yesterday.
His presence was part of the Singapore Arts Festival's first Arts Where We Eat initiative to take the arts to hawker centres and wet markets.
Besides Frenchman Jean-Louis Cort�s, 52, the line-up also featured a guzheng performance, balloon sculpting and a guitar-and-song showcase by 12-year-old music prodigy Erwin Adam.
Naval diver Ben Phua, 32, out at the market with his wife and son, gave the thumbs up.
'It's great that I can come out with my son to enjoy the arts. Normally, we wouldn't take him to town for such things.'
When it was Cort�s' turn to perform, a large crowd gathered and whipped out their camera mobile phones to capture the action.
Explaining his flushed face and bare feet, he said: 'In cold places, I'd put on my shoes. But in warm places, I'd take them off.'
