CIRQUE DU SOLEIL IRIS

Wow! What a show!

My friend was in town visiting and treated us to seeing Cirque du Soleil's IRIS. It's fun being a tourist in my own city, and since I never go to Hollywood and Highland, we had quite the adventure! The show was an incredible spectacle. The theme centers on "the World of Cinema" reinterpreting early shadow puppets, film strips and backlots. 

According to Cirque Du Soleil, "IRIS offers a new take on the art of cinema as only Cirque du Soleil could imagine it. IRIS is an inventive spectacle that combines acrobatics, dance, projections and live music. It takes the audience on a mesmerizing journey that blurs boundaries between live performance and moving images. IRIS explores the different techniques of cinema, as it evolves from black and white to colour in a world of shadows and light."
