Cirque du Soleil

Teag and I bought tickets to the new Cirque du Soleil show, Varekai, a couple of months ago, and finally got to see the performance last night!

We had high hopes, and were not disappointed, though both of us were worried when the show started out with some weird, goat/bird guy grunting like he was slow in the head.

Please excuse the poor quality of the photos. While they do allow you to take pictures, they don't allow flashes due to the safety of their performers. This made it impossible to get any shots that involved movement. Hopefully you can get an idea at least.

It was a spectacular show, with live vocals, band, and amazing aerial work. Teag and I were both completely engrossed whenever any of the flying took place. There were a few drawbacks whenever the goat/bird guy came out, and another weird set with a man in a powder blue tuxedo, but overall the show was stunning. Our favorite part was at the end, when they had men swinging on large pendulums, and flying up and over each other, trading places, and sliding down large sheets, all while intense bass played to the rhythm of a heart beat.

A fantastic show, and a fun night out with Teag. Can't ask for better than that!
