TOTEM - Cirque du Soleil




OMG! WTF! These people are AMAZING!


Yol, Simone, John and I headed to the Royal Albert Hall last night to get a glimpse of the best Circus in the world..... CIRQUE du SOLEIL! Their new show is called Totem and it tells a story about the evolutionary progress of species through science, myths and legends. The show explores how man is tied to different species and the fascinating journey of man from it's amphibian state to it's ultimate desire to fly. In other words you will be thoroughly entertained by the array of characters such as The Scientist who juggles balls in a test tube, Indian hoop dancers, Rings trio, Chinese unicyclists throwing bowls to one another and catching them on their heads, Crystal ladies foot juggling mats (one of my fav's) and the ultimate ending, a group of artists dressed in Neon South American inspired morph suits performing ridiculous acrobatics, flying through the air from one bar to another. It's really too impossible to explain how amazing these circus artists are, you just have to go and see a Cirque du Soleil show if you are in London. They are constantly reinventing their shows with new stories, characters and acts. I've been to one before and this one is totally different to the last and never ceases to amaze! Our tickets were £55 and soooo worth it. Cas & Shayd went the week before and scored £90 box tickets for £50!!! BARGAIN!
