a little winter soleil
Posted by Jo on 01-02-2010
No-one was more chuffed than me on Christmas morning to discover tickets for the one and only Cirque du Soleil (thanks Mike)! It has long been an ambition of mine to see them perform and on Friday I wasn't disappointed.
From beginning to end the performers, from nearly forty different countries, mesmirised the audience at the Royal Albert Hall. The show was captivating with explosions of colour, live music and fantastic feats. The story of Varekai, meaning "wherever" in the Romany language of the gypsies, embraced the spirit of the circus tradition and was set in a magical forest full of fantastical creatures.
I was in awe of the very talented cast, particularly breathtaking were the aerial artists who flew high above the audience demonstrating such power and precision timing. And I must pay tribute to the many designers involved in the production of the show – from stage design, to costume and make up design, the overall result was stunning!
I would totally recommend it and so would Lil' Lou and Amy who are BIG Cirque du Soleil fans and also saw the show last week!
