CIRCUS OLAY: Love the skin(-tight leotard) you're in.
| Jubilation.
Elation. Alegría. This past weekend, I attended my first ever performance of the Cirque du Soleil. What a completely amazing experience it was. What a completely amazing group of people have been assembled for this show. I was blown away. It totally exceeded all my expectations. Unbelievable athletes and performers who can seemingly defy the laws of nature (especially gravity), or who can do things that seem physically impossible had the entire audience in the palms of their hands (myself included) for 2 hours. I have never seen people in such incredible physical condition in person before in my life. The young man who performed the handbalancing act in particular was an outstanding physical specimen--ZERO fat on him. The music for this show was breathtaking--played by a 6-piece band that begins by making its way through the crowd, and accompanied by an EXTREMELY talented young female vocalist--and, it absolutely enhanced the entire experience. My only slightly negative remark about the show was the abundance of "clowning" that took place--but only because I am very Cosmo Kramer-esque in my lack of affinity for clowns. After each performance act, the in-between time before the next act was ready to begin was filled by the clowns. Granted, while not the typical P.T. Barnum-ish clowns, they had MORE than enough clowny goodness for me. "Less clowning, more acrobatics" has now become my new motto. The show Alegría is currently in Philadelphia until August 8th. I do know that many of the shows are already sold out, but if you are in the area while the show is still here and you can score some tickets, GO. It is more than worth it. (By the way, from what I can tell, Varekai will be making its way to Houston in the somewhat near future...maybe in time for two peliculas to have healed...) ¶ Ξ PDawg Composed at 10:50:00 PM |
