Out and About: at Cirque Du Soleil!

Hello and Happy Wednesday! 

If you guys missed the Cirque du Soleil show in Charlotte, you missed something really special! I was able to get to see it two weeks ago and it was magical! 

It was a bit of the spur of the moment decision, but it made for a great evening! 

It was not your traditional circus experience. It did not feature animals, but it told a story of a Maestro in training. The whole show, he works to prove himself worthy of being the next Maestro, and -spoiler warning- is ultimately crowned Maestro as well as a skilled performer. 

The show featured incredible performances! There were tons of acrobatics, aerial work, dancing, fire dancing, tight rope walking -or flipping rather- and a guy doing all kinds of tricks on a bicycle. It was mind boggling as well as beautiful watching these performances. But the whole time my friend, Fabian, and I kept saying 'HOW?!'

How are they doing this? How did they realize they had that particular skill set? How had they become THAT good at this particular skill set without harming themselves in the process? 

Throughout the entire show and each performance, a woman was singing different songs in French. Her voice was incredible! At several points during the show, I completely forgot that she was singing live as opposed to us listening to a previously recorded track. 

It truly was a beautiful show! If you did not get a chance to see it, you may check their website. It is a traveling show, so you may be able to catch it at its' next location. 

I'm so grateful to have been able to catch this show! It was a lot of fun and something different to do on a Saturday night!
