Circus of the Sun

Last week we had a lecture on Le Cirque Du Soleil. The Disneyland lecture previously have shattered my skeptical view on these kind of performances, and I was eager to know and understand more.

Otherworldly. Bright, wonderful. Life. Fitting to its name, Circus of the Sun. As the class were watching the video of 'The Making of KA Performance' of Cirque Du Soleil, it struck me of how these people lived their lives, making the best of themselves, to show, to entertain the audience. Of how they worked hard day and night in order to give their all in the shows. These entertainers are there to make the audience happy. Remarkable.

I thought of their dedication towards the performances, and I realized that these people are not in this for money; well maybe some of them do; but most of them are there to entertain the masses. And that is a wonderful goal to stride towards, everyday.

On to the circus itself, although I'm not one who likes to just watch without participating (Yes I dislike televisions), the circus performances look incredible enough to garner my interest. It is that powerful. The emotions instilled, the technique shown, the creativity, the strength, nimbleness, dedication; in my mind, these attributes define Le Cirque Du Soleil. A spectacle.

Surely enough, if the show ever comes around here again, I will go to it.
