My blog inspiration book, Little
Golden Books, reminds us that, “Christmas is a time to go all out.” That is
just what Cirque Dreams Holidaze is all about-going all out and celebrating everything “Holidaze.” I thought that after Christmas day, this show
would keep the energy going. It did that with jazzed up variety and circus acts plus a lot of glitz.
Reflection
My mother and I enjoy the acrobatic type acts on the TV show America’s Got Talent. Cirque incorporates some
of the same talent. There were
contortionists, spinning girls, performers in the air, jump ropes
tricks and juggling. One of my favorites from the TV show was the balancing performer. He teetered
on cylinders and balls at amazing
heights. During this act, you hold your breath and get that tingle of fright as you wonder, “is
he really doing that or will he fall?”
Then there is sigh of relief when he
accomplishes his death- deifying feat.
This show also sparkles with elaborate costumes and a larger than life set. There was a 30 foot tree and
floor to ceiling toy solders. There seemed to always be something moving that dazzled on the stage. Cirque had a little
singing, a little laughing, a little dancing and a not stop variety of mini acts. It’s a great way to enjoy a family night
out.
(Show runs at the Benadum Dec 30th
2pm and 8pm. See the web site for other cities)
