Cirque du Soleil: Amaluna

2014-01-31 : previous : next : index


"Cirque du Soleil: Amaluna" at San Jose.  Great acts with well coordinated music.  Just like the previous Cirque du Soleil big top performances, this one featured hardcore acrobatics of pure skill.  Even for something more common and less dangerous like juggling 5 balls, they managed to pull it off with incredible grace and matched it to great music.  It was time well spent.

The "manipulation" act was my favorite, which involved balancing a stick on a stick on a stick on a stick... it can be described simply, but it's an experience watching it being performed in front you while the all audiences in the tent held their breath, followed by the roaring cheer upon completing the assembly.  It's also currently available here:

Touring circuses of this sort are rather rare in the modern age, so everyone should go see one of these performances when they are nearby.  The tickets are not cheap, but so far I have never regretted seeing one of their big top shows.
