2. Street People / Pope of Fools

Street People crowding the square during the Festival. (Some of them are Gypsy pickpockets...) It’s time to elect the Pope of Fools. The Nobles arrive. / And then Quasimodo, the Hunchback bell-ringer of Notre Dame does his dance (to a tuba solo) in an attempt to win the prize. He wins. / Claude, deacon of Notre Dame, grabs Quasimodo and drags him away from his triumph, back towards the Cathedral.
