Cirque du Soleil: Varekai

Watched Varekai on thursday with ana and her bf,
ana's from brazil who happens to be my MU colleague
getting her to answer the phone was impossible
but atleast it ended well lol



Varekai was amazing!
Everyone should do themselves a favour and go for it
albeit a bit pricy
mine was on discount as im a student
but even so
it was still 45 pounds!
ana and steve had to pay 55 each





It was well worth it unlike lady GAGA
lazy bitch...
lol
It was so cool cuz u get to watch it in a tent
and the fallen angel depiction of Icarus
(the boy who flew too close to the sun
and whose wings were melted by the gods)
in the acrobatic net was fking breathtaking!
it makes u wonder what is the human limit
in terms of contortion





in terms of the choreography and music...
its magical
almost like going on a journey with the characters
and cause our seats were damn close
we got to see their facial expressions
which made it an even more immersive experience
theres just so much going on on stage at times
which i felt was its biggest downfall
as you dont know where to look and who to look at
so i missed out on a few good bits




Overall screw gaga and watch this shit!
Saltimbanco is coming in may

  3. Hahhaa, is it Dralion, suddenly remembered the second one - it's called Dralion.

    Les mis hasn't come yet - or either, it's come but I didn't manage to catch it, just like Beauty and the Beast and Edward Scissorhands... Yea, debating whether to go to Cats in April, coz one of my favourite bands Vampire Weekend is coming in May, and there are rumours of Muse coming too :D

    as in, how are you; not literally how are you going to somewhere.
