Le Cirque is in Town!

Cirque du Soleil, that is. Last Tuesday, Alexander and I treated ourselves to Cirque du Soleil's OVA which is currently performing in San Jose through March 21. Check out their website for more information and tickets. The following photos are from their website as they do not allow flash photography. It was definitely worth the cost of the tickets.

The extravaganza takes place in the Grand Chapiteau (Big Top) which seats ~2,500. Here it is being set up, a process that takes several days.


The performers wear fabulous costumes, like this "ant"...



...and a grasshopper. The music and choreography were
superb throughout the two and a half hour show.



We were mesmerized by acts such as the slack wire and amazed to see the extent to which the human body can contort!


Viva le cirque!
