( with Giles! )
1 June 2005
Happily included in the shatteringly successful d'Issac-Spango multi-media production of 'The Spectacle in Your Mind' is the cameo performance of the legendary and fabulous Dame Lily Spango, who, at the venerable age of 113, still gives sold out concert hall audiences the world over those magic moments expected from her for over a century.
First appearing to astonished audiences as an equestrienne ballerina at the age of nine for the Crowned Heads of Europe with her father's Wild West Carnival, Dame Lily. highly regarded for her stage and screen accomplishments, now returns in her original and much loved role.

Her beloved grandson, the multi-talented Giles d'Issac-Spango, (who singularly awes the crowds as The Acrobat Watteau in the 'Spectacle in Your Mind'), accompanies Dame Lily, leading El Zorro the Performing Donkey, as the splendid rider flies along above.
El Zorro, Dame Lily's favorite performing animal, (claimed by her to be half zebra), was given to Dame Lily by her third husband, Italian communist filmmaker Reza Ragusa Folioni in 1952, as a make-up gift for the humiliation caused by the refusal of the British Royal Family to extend the couple an invitation to the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II because of Folioni's political affiliations.

Dame Lilly's performance, guided by the proudly smiling and ever attendant Giles, and supported by the smooth steps of El Zorro and his gentle clip-clopping trot, is nothing but perfect balance and grace. She rides across the stage, around the center ring and through the aisles amid the wildly cheering audience in a show stopping exercise of talent and skill.
Together, Dame Lily, El Zorro and Giles break the boundaries of art and cross the generational eras to give all who witness the astounding attraction unforgettably stunning amusement and electrifying entertainment!
