Another Magical Production of Art and Athleticism in San Diego

Art and Athleticism

My closest friend treated me to one of the most wonderful performances here in San Diego tonight in celebration of my Birthday this past Sunday. I had to work all day Sunday getting a listing staged and this was going to be the first opportunity to see this amazing show at the Del Mar Fairgrounds.

The above photo was the display Banner for the show " Totem" and the photo below was on one of their tour trucks outside. It was a sold out performance and little wonder. This show was stupendous and filled such amazing choreography and skill. I have seem many of the Cirque du Soleil shows over the years and by far this surpassed my highest expectations.

Art and Athleticism

The Touring Company sets up their own performance tents and staging. And it is really quite impressive to say the least. If you have an opportunity in your area to see this production I can promise you will not be disappointed. It is a true work of Art and Athleticism.

William,

Like you we have seen many Cirques, and have not been excited about seeing another. However in reading your post, you have made me curious enough to check it out. It is so glorious how we can share things with each other in the rain...Happy Memorial Day weekend, A

William - I donot think we can see it in Central Florida, as Orlando has a stationary stage in Disney World, and they are running a different show.

I made a memory check mark for this one.

Belated Happy Birthday William. Leslie had the good fortune to see Cirque du Soleil many years ago in Disney World in Orlando and proclaimed it to be a profound experience. I'm glad you enjoyed it so much.

Hi William,

What fun! Your photos are amazing (as always) and I can only imagine what the show must have been like...especially since you'be been to others.

So far I've seen two of them, one year I took my office staff to a production, then another time Marlene and I attended another. Both were absolutely spectacular...something that everyone should see at least once!

Happy Belated Birthday William! It sounds like a great show and the photos from your iphone are amazing. I wish more performers would allow photos in the show so people could share more - I think they might even sell more tickets, with all of that free advertising...

Happy Belated Birthday William! It sounds like you had a great way to celebrate. Those photos are unbelievable. I can only imagine how thrilling it was to see in person. That Native American Indian is such an improvement over the museum statues. Someone paid a lot of attention to detail!

I hope this new year gives you many more opportunities for the arts and pleasure.

William, Happy Belated Birthday! I'm impressed with the quality of pictures that your iPhone takes.

I haven't ever had the opportunity to see a Cirque du Soleil show. Based on your recommendation, I'll try to see this one if it comes to an area where I am at.

Have a wonderful day.

I have no idea how I missed this blog when you posted it, William! But, it is delightfully magical. I also missed your birthday, although I was certain I had it on my calendar. I hope it was a really great day. I'm also so glad there was that special someone who gifted you with this wonderful experience!

William - I also want to CONGRATULATE you on having this blog FEATURED in the Photos group! Although I was late finding it and reading it, it certainly didn't disappoint!

With my family home for Memorial Day weekend, I misplaced a few functioning brain cells. Gratefully, they are back now - the brain cells, not the family:-)
