Waiting

 

This was the opening stage at the Cirque Du Soleil performance that I saw in June.  This stayed like this while we waited for everyone to be seated and then the lights dimmed and the segments of the circle opened and then people came out and slid the large trays of flowers away. And then the show began!

Red

 

During the intermission at Cirque Du Soleil this giant screen came down and hid the stage area a bit but those dark areas were not opaque so you could see movement behind as they set up for the next acts. The screen resembled the Mexican paper cutouts called papel picado that are found for decoration at festive times of the year.

Drink Anyone?

 

The bar area inside the first tent at the Cirque Du Soleil really had a Mexican motif going. I loved the neon cactus. I took no pics during the performance as I was too busy watching everything.

Going To The Circus

 Luzia is the title of the Cirque Du Soleil show which I recently went to see. It is a dreamy tribute to Mexican culture using acrobats and special effects. This is the area just before you enter the tents which consists of the big tent itself and smaller tents for refreshments and souvenirs.

Cirque Du Soleil is in town for the next couple of months and I went to a recent performance. This is the view walking from the entrance towards the big top. It it was a wonderful show on a beautiful day.
