Cirque du Soleil: Dralion
Fri 12 Oct 2007 5:30PM - 7:00PM
East meets West in this touring production from the human circus that is Cirque du Soleil. Preferring to focus on the performance of humans rather than animals, this company puts on many, many shows around the world which continually amaze audiences. Acrobats, tumblers, jugglers and trapeze artists provide a visual delight in this Sky Arts presentation. The dragon of the East meets the lion of the West in the Cirque’s twist on Chinese theatre, which celebrates the four elements of the world – earth, water, fire and air.
Spectacular feats of human skill and strength make this performance unmissable. The aerial magnificence, fantastic juggling and unbelievable tumbling mean that there is always something to entertain the eye. Speaking from experience (ArtsWom recently was in the audience at another Cirque show, Love, the Beatles-based Las Vegas production) there is literally never a dull moment with constant movement and distraction, and we highly recommend watching this programme.
Why not share your Cirque du Soleil experiences here?
Went to see Delirium last night and was soo disappointed and angry- what happened to the circus in Cirque du Soleil? Didn’t pay to see a lame second rate musical, endless Eurovsion style songs and dance routines, lighting and screen effects felt dated and unimpressive. No spectacle or drama to excite and inspire you. Don’t go!
