Circus de Soleil

Last night, Jodie, E and I went and saw Corteo. I have seen Circus de Soleil perform on TV, but never in real life.

Wikipedia has a good rundown on the show.

Circus of the sun from Montreal.

I am doing a website for out chiropractor, and the tickets were a very nice "thank you". Culture for the Wittren's. We don't get out to live shows hardly ever.

It is gymnastics set to theater. Tumbling, trapeze, trampoline, jumping on a bed with flips you would not believe. Singing, dancing, acting. It was all to tell the story of a clown imagining a joyous procession (corteo) at his own funeral.

The human body is an amazing instrument that we take for granted. The athletes/actors of Circus de Soleil show the instrument in it's highest and finest form.
