Cirque du Soleil at San Jose






The Circus is in Town!  Cirque du Soleil is performing at the Santa Clara County Fairgrounds at San Jose.   The Santa Clara Fair managemet is well-run and the grounds are well-kept.   Such superior location and management attracted big productions such as Cirque du Soleil as well as our fun rabbit shows.




The big tops circus tents, looks like a circus!



This circus does not have animals, it's branded as a "Proper Circus".  It uses the approach of theatrical, character-driven performances without any real animals.   It defines the Cirqwue du Soleil as the "nouveau cirque" that translates into the "contemporary circus".



Some performers out in the gate area inviting guests to take pictures.



The tictet booth.



The huge billboard at the fairgrounds.



It's very kind of the fair management to have invited hubby and I to attend the premiere of the Cirque du Soleil opening night.  We had a great time.  Will share some photos of the show tomorrow.
