ENTERTAINMENT - The Circus Tuned Into Art

This article is about Cirque du Soleil which has turned the ordinary circus into an art-form.

Many of you may have heard of Cirque (Wikipedia), or even seen a show, but all I have talked to about this have been overwhelmed by these shows. The very first show I went to in San Diego, I was in constant wonder for the whole show.

The individual acts, when analyzed, are standard circus BUT the presentation makes it a whole new experience. The choreography, music (live), makeup, everything!

'tis is NOT my grandfather's circus. There are a collection of videos that demonstrate what I mean, and here is just one example. Enjoy.
