silk do Soleil shows number 10 key down
Oh
young Zoe is snubbed by her parents and
is tired of the world around her
q an alternate reality where childlike
wonder is fostered and cherished colors
and magic explode out of thin air and
bring life back into Zoe’s world
Kadam a suited character that is
distinguished by his lack of a head
guide the audience through a surrealist
world of enchantment and whimsy see a
kazoo Soleil rolls out its impressive
arsenal of acrobatic aerial acts to
bring life to the realm of Kadam which
began as a big top show and evolved into
a touring arena spectacle so it’s no
wonder it’s won awards from numerous
circus festivals number nine Zumanity
this isn’t your grandfather’s sypt
Soleil well maybe it could be but it’s
definitely not your kids step to Silla
zoo manatee puts a new twist on the
classic family-friendly circus show in
that the production isn’t actually
family-friendly at all instead it opts
for a highly sexualized cabaret style
subject matter and is thus deemed for
mature audiences only dancers are
scantily clad as they perform their
astonishing acrobatics and lascivious
dances
the show has all the staples audiences
have come to expect from SIP de Soleil
but this time with less focus on
costumes and clothing and more on song
dance and the sensual side of humanity
number eight sultan banco
one of Sicily’s longest-running
productions Sultan Banco toward from
1992 to 2012 though not in the same form
throughout those two decades as it was
rebooted in 2007
the show takes its name from a variety
of languages but can be very roughly
associated with acrobatics and it relies
heavily on its impressive aerial
performances sultan banco also includes
traditional balancing and juggling acts
among many others and takes place in a
strange city scape where nothing is what
it seems and everything is at odds
number seven the gallo
with an epic name combining the words
dragon and lion this east-meets-west
style show has a lot to live up to
Valeo blends tropes from the Chinese
circus and Western mythology to explore
the theme of the four elements to great
effect costumes are inspired by Chinese
Indian and African designs and represent
fire water earth and air the acts are
astounding as ever with performers
soaring through the air and performing
acrobatic feats around an immense temple
like set and over floors of lightbulbs
number six La Nouba
Florida’s Walt Disney World Resort is
home to this outlandish party of a
circus show in addition to traditional
flying trapeze and acrobatic acts lanova
also makes use of childhood games like
skipping ropes yo-yos and bicycles and
enhances them to wacky proportions the
point of the show is to bring the
audience back to a childlike state of
wonder and infinite possibility mixing
in elements of mystery and fear that
we’ve forgotten lanova does this and
much more and has done so since 1998
number five me stay
you
this show provides a more traditional
sip to Salette experience blowing
audiences away with mind-boggling
acrobatics crazily constructed sets and
a healthy dose of comedy the theme as
far as anyone can guess centers on the
frantic nature of life and this is
brought to the stage by a cast of animal
costumed acrobats and scored by diverse
world music a slowly growing snail and
gigantic Japanese drums
I like this frenetic celebration of life
and spectacle number four Alegria
shiny
as haunting is beautiful as its title
track
Alegria is one of sip to saleh’s most
popular stage shows originating in
Montreal Canada in 1994 the show has
since traveled the world and astonished
millions of people reaching its final
destination in 2013 in Antwerp Belgium
the show tells a story of unbridled
energy and the consuming lust for power
with Fleur a madman with pretensions of
grandeur taking the audience on a
journey through a dangerous world of
magic and wonder the titular Alegria
number three love
Cirque du Soleil tries its hand at the
beetle story incorporating its signature
flair for astonishing visuals and good
old-fashioned showmanship in this
resident show at Las Vegas Mirage Hotel
love traces the Fab Four storied legacy
from the first days in the Blitz in
England all the way up to their final
shows in the 70s described as a
nostalgic spectacle the show makes good
on its title and gives audiences another
chance to experience Beatle mania and
fall in love with the band all over
again it was a fantastic show five years
ago and is still the hottest thing in
town
number two Oh
you
this show whose name comes from the
French word for water doesn’t shrink
away from its theme as evidenced by the
fact that it takes place in a 1.5
million gallon pool Yana philemon the
story’s protagonist is dragged into a
world of beautiful Opera House’s giant
ocean scapes and wacky characters in his
quest to track down the mysterious
Aurora acrobats swimmers and divers who
pirouette and paddle their way across
the watery stage bring o2 elegant life
and give audiences a new kind of
experience before we unveil our number
one pick here are some honorable
mentions
number one cup
when you’re in Vegas you either go big
or you go home and that seems to be
sipped to saleh’s motto when it comes to
cough described as one of the most
grandiose and technologically advanced
shows in North America Cobb blends
techniques such as pyrotechnics
automation puppetry and a unique set of
enormous moving platforms to tell the
story of twins separated during their
coming of age and who must then
undertake a journey of self-discovery
fire is the main theme in CAW and the
show explores its ability to destroy and
to bring knowledge
