Leave it to Cirque du Soleil to turn the story of an ordinary girl in an
ordinary world into something extraordinary.
Quidam,
the latest Cirque show to hit Vancouver, opens with a young,
disenchanted girl who quickly pulls the audience into her imaginary
world. There, gravity means nothing and physical limitations dont exist.
Alternating between acrobatics and comedy, every minute in Quidam
is more exciting and potentially neck-breaking than the last. We
marveled as a contortionist dangled from the ceiling on two thin columns
of silk and were awestruck by three artists who suspend themselves by
their feet on hula hoops hung from the rafters.
And to think, all it takes to achieve these feats is superhuman strength
and a supernatural sense of balance. KD
Quidam is on until March 13 at Rogers Arena, tickets from
$59.50 at www.cirquedusoleil.com
