Awesome is the best way to describe a Cirque du Soleil show. If you have the opportunity to attend a show, don’t pass it up! And if you are a member of Netflix – get a DVD version in your queue.
My kids watched a Cirque du Soleil show several months ago on DVD. They were fascinated by the acrobatic capabilities of the performers. A Cirque show embodies so many elements of childhood – fantasy, color, music and drama. Cirque captures the essence of creativity and brings it to the stage every day.
But just like parenting, business and anything else worthwhile in life, they have to work HARD to keep that spark alive.
I highly recommend a book by Lyn Heward, the former creative executive at Cirque du Soliel. You won’t be disappointed

We haven’t seen a Cirque show live yet, but became aware of them when we watched the Cirque du Soleil Fire Within TV show a few years back. It was a fascinating behind-the-scenes look at putting together the Cirque show called ‘Varekai’.
Cirque du Soleil Fire Within is available on both Amazon and Netflix.

Worth noting that today 2 September is the birthdate of Guy Laliberté, the founder of Cirque du Soleil in 1959.

I went and saw La Nouba when I was in Orlando this spring with my husband’s family and we were all just transfixed through the whole performance. I really recommend it to everyone who has the chance.

I will have another chance to see a show in Las Vegas in about 8 weeks. Yeah!
