Cirque du Soleil is currently on there first ever tour of South Africa, and as a long time fan I have had my tickets booked for months! The performance they are currently doing is Saltimbanco and it was out of this world. A creative execution of dance, acrobatics, and colourful characters that allow the imagination to run wild. Saltimbanco come from the Italian, "saltare in blanco" which literally means "to jump on a bench", it explores the urban experience and all that goes with it. It captures a dream like state of an imaginary world where the differences in everybody are celebrated. It was an unforgettable experience that had the entire audience staring in awe. If you have an opportunity to see Cirque du Soleil don't miss it - you will be sorry.
Oh and if ya didn't know, im proud to say we have our very own South African in the cast Daniel Buckland, who plays The Dreamer!!
