The Cirque de Soleil. What an amazing sight to see. All the elements were there. Beauty. Ugly. Death. Life. Love. Hate. Humor. Sadness. Strength. Weakness. Light. Dark. Color. Blandness. Music. Silence. Drama. Boredom.
An especially lovely section of Dralion involves two lovers. They are dressed in blue. A single long drape of blue hangs from the ceiling suspended through a loop. The two lovers hold opposite ends of the drape and swirl around the circle stage in magnificence, intertwining with each other, with the drape, and with the air. There is the push and pull of relationships, the attraction of polar opposites that are man and woman. There is the sadness and joy of relationships and love. A struggle that ends in a kiss. The struggle that ends. It was all very conceptual, and moved by music. Man. What an expirience.
