LE CIRQUE DU SOLEIL : VAREKAI

Varekai… I remember asking myself before going in the Royal Albert Hall, what does it means? The answer is, in Romany language, “Wherever” and actually it is true. This spectacle brings you wherever you wish to go. I am not a big fan of circus… at all actually, but I loved it very much. The colours, the music, the atmosphere… on stage there is like a forest of Bamboo trees, which remind me one of my favourite film:” the flying daggers”. The acrobats are amazing, in particular the Russian swings and the angel at the beginning but also that guy who juggles with ping pong balls and later panama hats as if they were boomerangs. But what I retain is the power of these people….more than Sarkozy or Obama (at least in 2010)… they made me dream. Lou
