ssurgulOh. My. God.
I thought Dralion was marvelous.
Then I saw O and Mystere in the same week.
Now I've seen Vareki.
I honestly don't know any more why I don't just sell off everything I own, head up to Montreal, attend their training camp, and make my way around the world with them for a few years.
Rich, vivid, surreal and chaotic costumes, such as have certainly become the mainstay and hallmark of Cirque du Soleil over the years. The lizard men at the beginning are WONDERFUL. Particularly the lead lizard, with the spandex suit made with crescent shapes throughout the torso and legs, the thicker, darker tail.... The performers certainly looked divine, there on all fours, but maybe that's just me.
Then came the foot jugglers. Several buffed up men in shiny gold, lengthy unitards. Wow. Not only were the twins amazingly hot, but so were almost all the other performers. And, of course, the performances themselves were just fabulous. Very visually stunning.
Then the bird men eventually made their way on to the performing area. And what a divine performance it was. Twins, yet again, and in some very ... intriguing outfits. Or, mostly a lack there of. Not only were they also quite heavenly performance artists, but as the show progressed, they changed their outfits twice, to white and then a goldish. It was very interesting. And, of course their feats of strength which each other were intensely arousing, and rivaled the living statues which are cousins from the Mystere show.
The final group worthy of mention here were one of the last ones to perform: the triple trapeze artists, in their red bodysuits that had been airbrushed to look like firebursts were all along their body, or had nice insets of transparent spandex into the red. Their production consisted of launching each other either cross-wise over a pillar and down some heavy satiny/spandexy seeming sheets, or (and this was definitely breath taking) from one triple trap to the other. Amazing skills and amazing bodies.
For those that saw Dralion, this performance is much more male-heavy than it was, which is certainly a good thing for me. Not only for the erotic potential being much higher, but also for delivering a much more vibrant production. Given the increased musculature and weight of the average male vs. female, more high flying stunts can be done. And this production most assuredly reinforced that chaos, one of its primary motifs, was certainly brought to the fore. Even by the clows, which were as always a wonderful relief during the show.
And now on checking their site, Alegria is coming to Portland as well. Anyone up to take it in when it's here? Maybe a Portcouver gathering possibility?

Re:
on 2003-Jan-29, Wednesday 09:58 am (UTC)As to being frustrated, yeah, it is kind of enlightening to see what those people can do with their bodies after so much training. And the spandex outfits are definitely to be envied by any but the most uninterested fetishist. But, hey, you go to be entertained, wowed and enthralled throughout. And they certainly deliver there. Even if you go for the lower priced tix.
