balloon head

I have an image of 50-70 helium balloons on long strings, tied to someone's hair, all their (longish, sorry J) hair.
it would be quite a prep every night.
of course that 's where video can come in... but it would be great to see it live. do you think someone could actually float away?
balloons could be blown up over the course of the performance, to try to get someone to fly away...

Anything with hot air balloons. It makes me think of the movie "Around the world in 80 days" (or is that 180 days?). You're drifting around the world on a big balloon - also leads to questions of tourism. What does it mean to fly into a place and visit? How well do you get to know a place? Maybe we could have a moment with tourists in ugly Hawaiin shirts. Also, lost luggage - flying and trying to cart your shit around.

ALSO, didn't Dorothy float back to Kansas on a hot air balloon? There's no place like home...There's no place like home...

I like the idea of floating away.
