Mystere

I went to my very first Cirque de Soleil show tonight - Mystere. (Pronounced Miss Stair). I had a good seat - 2nd row on the rise - essentially in the center. I could see everything very well. It was a beautiful, beautiful performance - a circus ballet.

The costumes were as opulent as they could be for being spandex and the characters took on both strong and submissive roles creating artistic visual stories. The performances varied from conveying innocence and primal passion to intimacies that sometimes made me feel like a voyeur intruding on a passionate affair.

But folks.....it's really just a circus act!

How's that Mr. Wiggles?
