Luzia!

When I discovered that our beloved Cirque du Soleil was coming back into town this Spring with their Luzia show, I quickly jumped at the opportunity to give Ron tickets for his Christmas present.  After months of waiting (and almost forgetting about it in the process), the day finally arrived to go see them perform in the Grand Chapiteau.  Lucky for us, they always perform at Marymoor Park in Redmond which is the next town over from my parents which makes them perfect babysitters.  So, we dropped off our kids in time to put Ella down for a nap and headed out for an afternoon of amazement and marvelment set to the music, culture, and landscapes of Mexico.  The show was just as amazing as all the others that Ron and I have ever seen together!  We especially LOVED the addition of a turning, conveyor belt which many of the cast members performed on and the presence of falling water throughout the show.  It was an amazing way to spend the afternoon and I can't wait for the day when we can see them again.

The amazing, opening act where a dancer wearing a butterfly costume ran on the turning, conveyor belt with a giant, horse puppet behind her.


Another shot of the dancer leaping into the air.


The incredible, hand balancing act where a man continued to go higher and higher in the air as his tower grew taller and taller.


Although it "rained" several times during the show, at one point, the water fell down to the stage with various shapes and designs in it.  It was one of the most amazing things I have ever seen.
