The third memory is of seeing the Cirque Du Soleil show,
Mystere (click to hear some of the music). It was absolutely breath taking. The opening scene with a big fat baby and an even bigger ball was hilarious.
The costumes were out of this world, with creatures that stood about 5 meters high, walking across the stage. The stage would rise and fall, bringing these creatures up, or sending them below. The performances by the acrobats seemed out of this world, they climbed up bars with their legs alone, then would swing from the ceiling. The production gave me shivers, more than once.
Everyone should see this show. The music was perfect too, so much so that I bought the soundtrack afterwards. Actually, the performance was so good that we went back for a second serving of Cirque a few nights later.
