Varekai!


Varekai: Cirque du Soleil
English
110 minutes
5 Stars

I watched the special that ran several weeks on Bravo about the making of this show. It was fantastic. It tells the story of a young man who falls from the sky into a magical world at the base of a volcano. The creatures are hilarious, gorgeous, sad, funny, and totally marvelous. Need something to watch with the whole family? This is it! The juggler, the flying birds, the plant man with no shirt, the man with the light bulb – all the others combine into some of the most fantastic acts. The music is great, the costumes are marvelous – what can I say? Watch it. Enjoy it. And pass the popcorn, please.
