I got a chance to watch my first-ever Cirque du Soleil show yesterday at the new (and gigantic!) SM Mall of Asia Arena, after hearing so much about it. When I failed to watch Varekai last year and seriously regretted it after hearing so much positive reviews from those who have seen it, I just knew I wouldn't dare miss Saltimbanco this time around.
I'm really glad that I was able to watch it--it was truly an amazing show. On one hand, there were a lot of heart-stopping acrobatics that had the audience screaming in fear and amazement. There were also "lighter" moments such as clown or mime acts. Some audience members were also selected to participate in the comical acts (not the acrobatics, though!). If you're seated closest to the stage, you'd better prepare yourself--you could be selected to take part in a skit towards the second half of the show and I'm telling you--it will not be easy (it is very entertaining for the audience though). After the show, all your dignity will come flying out the window. Thou hast been warned.
A big kudos to the solo female trapeze artist--her act was indeed out of the most captivating and heart-stopping moments of the show.
Congratulations to the Saltimbanco cast--I can't wait for the next Cirque du Soleil show in Manila!
