Alegría

Hi guys! After a week I finally brought a new show of the Cirque Du Soleil, this time it has an interesting name, it’s called “Alegría” in Spanish, this name really surprised me because as you may know this amazing circus is full of magic, but most of the time is in English and the fact that this show has the name in Spanish… well it is kind of interesting, don´t you think? 

Well this show it´s touring in Germany, Austria, Spain, Portugal, France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Hungary,  and has this name because “Alegria” is a state of mind, a feeling that encourages you to live as happy as you can, with all the aspects of life. This show presents the power and the feeling of the society along the history, the power and the handing down over time, the evolution from ancient monarchies to modern democracies, old age, young age, nowadays; in this show, each character represent a role of the human life, such as kings, minstrels, old aristocrats and children make up this amazing universe in which it reflects the feelings, the travel, and the change of our society.  

It would be interesting to see how real this show is, to what extend its reflects the reality of the society, the travel of power over the history, and the reaction of the spectator with this show, because many times the special effects and magic of the show, have influence in the people reception and could change their perception of what the society is. So… what do you think?  Do you think that this show may influence in the people way of think about the society?

Here is a link for a video of the show:

ZUMANITY

Hi everybody, this week I am going to talk about the “other side” of the Cirque Du Soleil a very special show in which they explore, the human sexuality. Since the beginning of the circus story we have known that it is a circus, without animals shows, especially in shows of humans tricks in which they explore the skills and the human feelings.  But this unique show is called ZUMANITY created on September 20th 2003, by René Richard Cyr and Dominic Champagne(cirquedusoleil.com). This show takes place at New York, (The New York Hotel and Casino) and the Vegas. This show is described as “the sensual side of the Circus Du Soleil” because this show is an adult-theme production is a mix between a spectacular cabaret, human sensuality, acrobatics and fun. Zumanity was created for adults 18 and only in the Vegas. (cirquedusoleil.com)

This show is completely different from what the general public tends to see, a familiar or political point of view but with the spectacular magic of Circus Du Soleil, so if you go to New York or The Vegas and have 18 years old, try to see and feel this new experience that Circus Du Soleil offers.

Here is a link to see a little of this new experience:
