Last night Pat and I went on a much needed date, to Cirque du Soleil. It was so fun! I've never been to one of their performances before so this was a first and it was definitely entertaining!! I can't even begin to describe the things we saw! Some of it was kind of random and a lot going on a once but it really was SO cool! Since we were not allowed to take pictures, I'll post some I found on the internet so you can get the gist of it :o)
The Cirque du Soleil performance was called "Quidam".
Here is a synopsis-
The entire show is imagined by a bored young girl named Zoé who is alienated and ignored by her parents. She dreams up the whimsical world of Quidam as a means of escaping the monotony of her life. The show's title refers to the feature character, a man without a head, carrying an umbrella and a bowler hat. Quidam is said to be the embodiment of both everyone and no one at the same time. According to Cirque du Soleil literature "Quidam: a nameless passer-by, a solitary figure lingering on a street corner, a person rushing past. ... One who cries out, sings and dreams within us all."

| There was also this silent clown between acts that would invite people from the audience to come up on stage and do silly things with him. This picture is of when he took a woman from the crowd and pretended to be riding in a car... they end up "parking" and the clown very over dramatically wants to "make out" with her, and so you can use your imagination on how the rest goes...it was pretty funny and entertaining!! |
