Varekai in Manila

We are so so lucky to have witnessed the extreme artistry of Cirque du Soleil here in Manila thanks to my stepdad who generously treated us to an extra-ordinary, amazing wonder.  My son Joshua was transfixed the whole time.  Would love to gush over every detail but somebody else succinctly expresses what the show is all about.

Writer and director, Dominic Champagne wrote this which was included in the not-your-usual souvenir program:

"Since these are crazy times and it is our duty not to surrender the world into the hands of fools, may this show be for you as it has been for me a celebration of the coming together of brothers and sisters and of the joy of challenging limits.

"Let yourself be swept away by the courage and beauty of these acrobats, dancers and actors, who, every day, wherever the wind may take them, risk their lives trying to attain the sublime to touch the sky, to defy the law of gravity and to dance in the fires of volcanoes so that they can tell the world that something else is possible."
