QUIDAM

QUIDAM was every bit the mystical experience I knew it would be. The two-plus hours of breathtaking performances brought about one jaw-dropping climax after another.

Under le Big Top, nothing is impossible

The kind of trance Cirque du Soleil puts its audience in is not something I can even start to describe. It simply must be appreciated in person. And it’s definitely one of the things every person should experience at least once. The show made me reevaluate the potential of our own species; to think what beautiful things we hold the power of creating, and what bracing inspiration that can bestow upon others.

The essence of Cirque

Whimsical facial makeup is an essential part of any circus act. And Cirque du Soleil certainly boasts of its elaborate costumes for all its sideshows. But the main acts of QUIDAM featured bare bodies, with the simplest props if any. It was about embracing body dynamics. Each twist and jump manifested tremendous energy; each body formation and posture demonstrated the magnificence of the human body. Every movement was full of strength and grace at the same time.
