This is my 3rd Cirque du Soleil production I've seen (Saltimbanco, Alegria and now Dralion). Of all of them Saltimbanco has been my favourite and Dralion has been a hot 2nd. A Sunday afternoon could not have been better spent!
As a travelling show, they can play at some of the most beautiful venues in the world. I believe Royal Albert Hall is the amongest the best places for a show such as this to perform. Its a beautiful theatre and on the outside looks like a gorgeous round cake.
To say the least Dralion is magnificent! Clowns entertain the crowds with their wonderful banter (ok so it wasn't in English but who needs to talk the same language to communcate anyway??). Lavish costomes, amazing singing and ofcourse the acrobatics, astound!
Lu loved the single performer Marie-Ève Bisson dance in, through and around in her Aerial Hoop high above the stage floor.
I liked the grace and beauty of the Aerial Pas de Deux, a dance, a ballet of lovers flying through the air on ribbons of cloth. Equally entralling where the scores of men launching themselves in Hoop Diving.
As a juggler I would have liked to have seen the Juggling. Not all the acts perform at each show. This allows the performers to have time off. I think thats twice I've missed the juggling in a Cirque Du Soleil performance!!
If your unlucky and no Cirque Du Soleil show is showing where you live then you might want to check out your local IMAX where Journey of Man might be playing. It's not as good as the real thing but its enough to wet the appetite!.
