Last Friday, January 9, 2015, I attended my first ever Cirque du Soleil show. This show was entitled "Kurios", cabinet of curiosities. I believe it was like a time machine-themed show where people from what appeared to be the 1920s or 30s were transported into the pseudo future. At any rate, performers from contortionist to acrobats to the live musicians performed their tasks in such perfection that I couldn’t find a better phrase except “freaks of nature." Trust me, I HATE LABELING OR BEING LABELED but I couldn't find a better phrase to praise these individuals that were God-sent; they moved with the grace of the wind and sang like the birds chirping in the wee hours of the morning. Their fluid movements were just phenomenal.
It was such a treat. While everyone was gasping and sat on the edge of their seats due to the death-defying acts, I sat there like a child at her first circus show, I sat there with eyes wide in mere awe. It was like staring at the sun, I sat in admiration. I even told my 2 girlfriends that it is a must to make this a tradition. Why did I wait so long? I guess I know the answer to that. I wouldn't have appreciated Cirque then as much as I do now.
The two pictures above are from the show. I can go on and on but honestly, Cirque du Soleil is to be watched and experienced, that's how you capture the essence of it. I didn't take any further pictures or videos for fear of taking away the feeling of such an experience. Don't take my word for it, PLEASE see the show yourself and experience it in full awesomeness.
As I come to this end of this blog, I also come to the conclusion that I needed to be at this show so I can remember what it was like to feel like a child again, what it was like to let go and let God. Surrender was my main lesson from this show and I did...THE ENTIRE WEEKEND.
So here's to my new annual tradition and I bid you all love, light and compassion.
