See Cirque du Soleil

Aaaaah it was magical. ♥.♥ Not even the fact that I managed to get ill just in time for the show, managed to diminish the joy and amazement Saltimbanco offered. I thoroughly enjoyed the show, and I loved how the performers interacted with the audience, a couple of people got on stage, too! The positive side on being on the front row is that you see small details that otherwise would have gone unnoticed. I got to interact with the performers as well a little, before the actual show some of the cast (fully dressed in their character outfits) came out and shook hands with the audience, etc. and my row took a little walk with the cast, it was nice. And I got offered some popcorn as well. :D

I don’t know which acts I liked the best, some of them made me laugh, some stare in amazement my mouth agape, it was all plain fabulous. But to say something…

Duo Trapeze was a-mazing, the performers looked so alike, they might have been sisters (twins)? Anyway, it was beautiful, trapezes have always been my favourites, swinging in the air seems so… liberating. Free. Absolutely loved this act, yes yes.

Artistic Bicycle was hilarious, he did some pretty impressive things with the bicycle, and his charisma was unbelievable, such a performer.

Russian Swing is basically a huge swing, from which the performers are catapulted in the air and I must say: wow. The things they did, just breathtaking.

And this is not an act per se, but he definitely deserves to be mentioned: Eddie. I haven’t laughed as much and as wholeheartedly in a long time (well, except with A perhaps but that’s a whole different story ♥). He interacted with the audience a lot, it was hilarious, and it was great how people went with it, though perhaps a bit shyly (we’re talking about Finns here after all). Just, Eddie ♥.

Like I said though, I loved all the acts and I’m very very pleased that I got a ticked and got to see such a heart-warming and amazing show. Needless to say, now I want to see other Cirque du Soleil shows more than ever! I’m particularly eager to see O, anything aquatic always gets me interested. And Alegría I must get to see some time, I’ve loved the soundtrack for years. (Apparently, there will be a CdS show named ‘Elvis’ opening in December ‘09 – it’d be awesome if I got to see that with A, I’m sure we’d both very much enjoy it. That’d mean… Vegas, baby! :D)

Aah, I’m in love. ♥

I remember seeing part of a video in seventh grade…. It was really amazing and simply breathtaking. It makes me wonder how something so complicated is done and performed. The video was amazing, I can only imagine how great it would be live.

I remember that when my music teacher showed us a video of it, my best friend said that it was alien porn. Yeahh…. He really knows how to screw up a wet dream.

I went to Vegas this passed Labor Day weekend, but I didn’t have enough time to see a Cirque du Soleil show. The Beatles LOVE was only shown around 7pm and 9pm. My first choice would still be to see LOVE, but after seeing pictures and previews of other Cirque shows, there are many others I’d like to see too like Le Reve, O, and KA.

And it was AWESOME!!!! I went to see Saltimbanco in Charleston South Carolina for my husband and I’s 5 year anniversary. =) It was so amazing! I thought that seeing one would satisfy my goal of seeing it, but now I want to see as many as possible throughout my lifetime. Wonderful show! Definately recommend doing it.

Done!

I saw Saltimbanco when it came here on tour.

I loved every minute of it.

A friend of mine had a bunch of performers from a couple different Cirque du Soleils perform at a party – that was pretty sweet. Also saw Wintuk this & last year, and I’m going to Kooza this weekend.

Just one year they came on a tour and one of the stops was where I lived. It was very entertaining. I would suggest it to anyone even though the tickets are expensive it’s worth it.

I was fortunate- my husband thought I might like to go, and so bought us tickets as a surprise. It was amazing, mesmerizing, and inspiring. I look forward to when our daughter is old enough to attend.

So theres a show on March 31st in Dublin! I heard about it ages ago but i didnt have enough money to buy the ticket, they are so expensive! But recently, a freind of mine got tickets and asked me if i would like to go! Of course i said yes. I just hope she keeps to it, and that i find the money for the ticket soon…=]

... in 2009. :D

They’re coming in Quebec City for a quick tour in July and August, and I’m going with someone. :)
