Say phobia phobia should be treated. Are you afraid of spiders - pat vosmilapogo. Afraid of heights - jump with a parachute. Many of my friends believe that I have a phobia of clowns after the movie "It" (which is why my 18th birthday my good friend gave me a trip to the circus). Though actually, I just do not like childhood circus (not to be confused with "afraid"), and especially the clowns. At school, I also did not like Russian classics. But rereading it after graduating from university, I in love with her and realized that before, I simply do not understand. Last week I was invited to an event organized for the winners of a special promotion MEGACARD, as well as program partners and journalists.The event marked the completion of the action MEGACARD, following which the winners were able to go to the presentation of the famous Canadian Cirque du Soleil. An hour before the show guests gathered in the area called Tapis Rouge, where they could relax and socialize in a relaxed atmosphere. This was facilitated by entertainment from MEGACARD, during which guests could take part in the fashion photo shoot, learn about the leading trends of the season and try unusual treats. Among the spectators show Kooza that day and I was. And then I thought, "Here's my chance to understand and rethink the circus! »
Kooza in Sanskrit means "box", "box". It is with this key idea and starts. Little unhappy clown gets a parcel, which is ... a clown (yes, the number of clowns in Kooza for klounofobov rolls over). Clown in a box - like the fact that once scared the superintendent in "Diamond Hand". Very soon ceases to be boxed clown scary acquires the appearance of a young and pretty psychedelic Alain Delon and abilities Bulgakov Voland. In particular, Dodger (as he called them in the program) carries little unhappy clown in different worlds (and otherworldly, too), where he and all the spectators in the dome expect the most incredible spectacle. Although plausible, too.
Actually, why so famous Cirque du Soleil? This is perhaps the only world-class circus network, which also can provide multiple views in different parts of the world. At Cirque du Soleil perform some of the most famous circus. And the show has always put the most spectacular and complex numbers. At the same time, the Canadian circus adheres to traditional ideas about this art form. Kooza turned a sort of showpiece, the standard understanding of circus culture.
In this show, as well as in the traditional circus, there is no strong binding to the plot or story development. There are a set of numbers, periodically connected advent of the protagonists. Menu numbers are also quite traditional. In Kooza was a place and a girl under the dome flying trapeze, and hula-hoops lady, and acrobats and fearless cyclists on the rope, and still not my favorite clown. But the circus of the sun would not be Cirque du Soleil, if he was not, what we are really surprised. And it's not even the fact that most hazardous rooms artists perform without insurance. Who are now surprised that after Nick Vallenda tightrope walker who crossed the Grand Canyon without insurance?
In the arsenal of Cirque du Soleil in store weapons more powerful. This technical know-how in the circus business! And his name - "Wheel of Death", for whom ... And yet, what is there to rant when it should just watch. That's where all the children and adults fears going into a ball in the area of the heart and cause it to freeze it, then pounding. And you notice how much louder applause resound from wet hands.
Despite my dislike of the circus, I once heard a lot of rave reviews about Cirque du Soleil. But like a circus atheist, I decided for myself: until I see it firsthand - I will not believe. Well, like any other network company, Cirque du Soleil has its drawbacks such as excessive untwisted name and absolute advantages (oh-oh, the wheel of death!). However, if you had a free evening, even walk to the dome tent circus his atheist.
