Varekai!


Amazing! Went to see the final dress rehearsal of Cirque du Sole's Varekai last night. The show was amazing. It was great to see a complete concept, a complete thought made solid. The collaboration that it must have taken to put that vision together is stagering. After the show we got to take a back stage tour of the place and see all the bits that make it what it is. A lot of elements were totally slapped together. Brilliant. And the facilities were pretty amazing as well. 62 trucks, fully loaded, move the show from place to place. That is about 4 times the size of the Wicked tour right now. All the show needs is a patch of ground, they supply all the power, plumbing, food, and space for the stay in the city. Crazy. I would love an opportunity to work for this company. I guess I should learn French.
