Watching: Cirque Du Soleil - Varekai

Wow, just wow.

Everything you expect from a modern circus; acrobatics, clowns, juggling, dazzling aerial work but with incredible costumes, music and overall spectacle.

I come back to the quote that "writing about music is like dancing about architecture" and this seems to fit in this instance.

Here's the search results page for Varekai in YouTube but it's hard to do it justice on screen.

These are some of my personal highlights. (Interestingly some of the costumes for minor characters in the Australian tour are completely different - and in my opinion better)
