Cirque du Soleil Performances, Second Half

Here are some photos of the second half of the Cique du Soleil performances.

In a big cube, there are two wires where the performers doing all kinds of movements.

The red poles are just poles, there is nothing to grab on to but the performers are able to show beautiful acrobatic movement with grace.

Two performers on the same pole to show their agility.

The two comedians increases the height of their box act.

All the music and singing are performed live during the acrobatic acts.   After a 3+ hours that includes an intermission, the show comes to an end.  The cast came out to take a bow.

It was a spectactular performance, definitely worth your time to buy tickets to the show.   Photos do not do the show justice.   I took videos but this blog is not set up to upload videos.  You can get an idea from their official trailer on youtube:   ECHO Official Trailer | Cirque du Soleil - YouTube 

According to the San Jose Mercury report, the equipment for the show took 80 semi trailers, it took nearly a week to erect the 65-foot high Big Top and all the supporting structures in the fairgrounds.   In this production, there are 53 performers with 30 family members, plus hundreds of workers and additional ones hired locally.   There are 5 executive chefs in charge of kitchen staff to prepare 200-300 meals a day.  If interested, here is the link to this article:

I highly recommend you to make it to the live show.   The show will be in San Jose until May 11.  Tickets are in the $80 range, quite reasonable.
