About the Show:

Cirque Du Soleil to Perform the Signature Production Saltimbanco in Manila

Saltimbanco is Cirque du Soleil’s longest-running touring show and has performed since 1992 to wide-spread acclaim to sell-out audiences in Europe, North and South America, Australia, Japan, and New Zealand for more than 11.5 million enthusiastic fans.

Classic Cirque du Soleil at its best, Saltimbanco is a thrilling and kaleidoscopic celebration of awe-inspiring artistry and agility. With a cast of 50 high-caliber artists hailing from 20 different countries, Saltimbanco features breathtaking acrobatics and unbelievable athleticism during solo spotlights and epic ensembles. From the seemingly impossible balancing, jumping, and spinning during the Chinese Poles or the Russian Swing to the gravity-defying Bungees and Trapeze, the crowd pleasing Juggling and Acrobatic Bicycle, to the celebrated and very unique Clowns. Technical expertise and extravagant design are woven together by uplifting spectacular costumes, amazing lighting, humor and enchanting music and magic. Full of colour, amusement and amazement, Saltimbanco is a fun show for the whole family.

Saltimbanco - from the Italian “saltare in banco,” which literally means “to jump on a bench”- explores the urban experience in all its myriad forms: the people who live there, their idiosyncrasies and likeness, families and groups, the hustle and bustle of the street and the towering heights of skyscrapers. A signature show, it is inspired by the urban fabric of the metropolis and its colorful inhabitants. Decidedly baroque in its visual, the show’s eclectic cast of characters draws spectators into a fanciful, dreamlike world, an imaginary city where diversity is a cause for hope.

Last year, the birthday gift I gave myself is an expensive ticket worth almost P5,000 to Cirque Du Soleil's "Varekai." Pikit-mata talaga when I bought the ticket but I wanted to watch it so badly due to the good reviews. After the show, I'm glad I made that decision and told myself I wanted to watch all 21 Cirque Du Soleil's shows kung kakayanin in my lifetime. I'm so happy "Saltimbanco" is coming to Manila this month, again my birthday gift to myself =)

I was blessed to watch "Phantom of the Opera" with my sister in Broadway, New York City. I'm recommending it so much that if you are going to witness one musical in your lifetime, let it be this... I'm a theater addict so that's saying much =)

"Potted Potter" is a delight for Harry Potter fans and "Bona" seems interesting due to the talented Eugene Domingo in it.

May we be inspired and make more money to be able to watch these wonderful shows... hehe =)

Cirque Du Soleil's "Varekai" at the Quirino Grandstand from June 22 to July 24, 2011

Cirque Du Soleil
Quirino Grandstand, Rizal Park
June 22 (Wednesday) - July 24 (Sunday), 2011

The word Varekai means "wherever" in the Romany language of the gypsies the universal wanderers. This production pays tribute to the nomadic soul, to the spirit and art of the circus tradition, and to the infinite passion of those whose quest takes them along the path that leads to Varekai.


About the Show:

Deep within a forest, at the summit of a volcano, exists an extraordinary world — a world where something else is possible. A world called Varekai.

From the sky falls a solitary young man, and the story of Varekai begins. Parachuted into the shadows of a magical forest, a kaleidoscopic world populated by fantastical creatures, this young man sets off on an adventure both absurd and extraordinary. On this day at the edge of time, in this place of all possibilities, begins an inspired incantation to life rediscovered.
