O

No I didn't forget to write the title of this entry. "O" is the name of the show in Las Vegas for which we bought tickets a month ago. The most expensive tickets I ever bought (165$ each +7.5$ each for booking fee). The show better be good, actually not good amazing.

The description:
"Cirque du Soleil weaves an aquatic tapestry of artistry, surrealism and theatrical romance in the timeless production, "O". Inspired by the concept of infinity and the elegance of water's pure form, "O" pays tribute to the beauty of the theatre - from the simplest street performance to the most lavish of operas - where anything is possible and where the drama of life plays itself out before our very eyes. World-class acrobats, synchronized swimmers, divers and characters perform in, on, and above water to create a breathtaking experience."
The experience:
Amazing, fantastic, super mega genial (couldn't translate that one). For 1.5h performers were on stage up and down in the air or the water. O is the show with a swimming pool on stage and they make the best out of it with synchronized swimmers and even divers. Those guys dived from the very top of the ceiling right into the pool on stage. Breath taking. They were many acrobats jumping and taking impossible position. The show never stops. When they are changing the setting many performers would be on stage to distract you with a little show on their own. The even more surprising part for me was that for the first time in years (if not decades) I enjoyed the clowns. They were not just stupid clowns, they were actually funny, without saying a word.
Conclusion:
If you ever get the chance to to see a show by the Cirque du Soleil. GO FOR IT! don't think how much it costs because the performance is a NO MISS.
(in other words, I loved the show and wish we could have seen an another one).
