The world is filled with freaks, talented people, and the extraordinary, and even sometimes beyond the extraordinary. A place where all these people can come together and use their talents for good is no other than the circus. It is amazing the type of people, and crazy things you can find at a circus. From flying and flipping through the air, to uncoordinated clowns, it is all gathered together into a grand scheme called the circus.
There is one circus act that tops them all and this is the infamous Cirque du Soleil. This is the top dog of all circuses. I was lucky to finally experience one of these performances this past weekend. My roommate and I went to spend the weekend in Tulsa with her family who just happened to have tickets to this intriguing event. I was so excited. I had always been fascinated with the unexplainable and the ability to do freaky, abnormal things. I hardly knew what abnormality I was about to see. I don't think there was anyway I could have prepared myself. Cirque du Soleil was a kaleidoscope of colors, lights, acrobats, and comedy. There were so many physically defying things going on that it was hard to believe what I was seeing sometimes. I never expected this performance to be as good as it was. There was never a moment when I wasn't entertained. This show really was one of those sit at the end of your seat the entire time, biting your nails, anxiously awaiting what would come next.
There were a total of seven thrilling acts. These included trapeze artists, trampoline tricks, and even a contortionist, and much more. It was amazing to see these people defying the physically impossible, and risking their lives. It really made me want to join the circus myself. I plan to drop out of college, and use my freaky talents for good. If only; but in all seriousness, it was a completely amazing experience. The most unbelievable act of them all was the contortionist. It was insane what she was able to do with her body. I swear she did not have one single bone in her body, because she was doing stuff physically impossible. No normal human being could possible twist and bend their body like she was. At times it made me hurt for her; she must have serious back problems. Even though I was slightly grossed out at times, overall it was the most unique and coolest thing I have seen by far. I only wish I was as flexible as those people were. They have definitely inspired me to work on my stretching every day. Maybe one day I'll be just as flexible? Doubt it. But a girl can dream.
The other part of the circus was definitely the clowns. In between acts they had three, abnormally looking clowns, quite odd fellows if I do say so, performing short comical skits. I have never laughed so hard in my entire life. These clowns were probably the funniest people I have ever seen. I especially liked how they would pull people form the audience to participate. It was so funny, and the people were such good troopers. The best part was when the clowns would imitate acts that just happened, poking fun, and trying to be like them. It was quite humorous.
Well, Cirque du Soleil was beyond what I expected; in a good way of course. I highly recommended that everyone see one of these performances sometime in their life. It will be incredibly worth your money, and time, and you will get to experience a little taste of the extraordinary and extreme.
GO EXPERIENCE THE FREAKY!
Love & Peace
