The central area Plaza of Flowers is raised five feet above the street, accessible by broad, shallow steps that surround the platform. An abstract sculpture of twisted, rusted metal sits in the centre of the raised area, and all around it street performers ply their various trades: comic monologues, singing, dancing, stripping, prophecy, improvisational theater, and side-show acts. (“Be sure to catch the guy who rams ice picks up his nose, the Human Blockhead.”) During the day, the plaza is relatively quiet, but at night, people from all across Skylla, Traboc, and the Edge come here for the various delights the Flowers Barrio offers.
