Deep within a forest, at the summit of a volcano, exists an extraordinary world—a world where something else is possible. A world called Varekai. No doubt I’ll update my post after having witnessed it in the flesh and blood. Varekai in Romanian dialect of the gypsy and nomads means ‘wherever‘ Varekai is a form of expressing movement growth and the infinite passion to wander this planet. It is Cirque du Soleil’s way of paying homage to the art and spirit of circus and the tradition thereof.
From the sky falls a solitary young man, and the story of Varekai begins. Parachuted into the shadows of a magical forest, a kaleidoscopic world populated by fantastical creatures, this young man sets off on an adventure both absurd and extraordinary. On this day at the edge of time, in this place of all possibilities, begins an inspired incantation to life rediscovered.
the best show i’ve seen in years it beats quidam hands down. it’s captivating and beautifully crafted. i have yet to see it on stage as my mum will not let me fly around the world to go see it so i have to wait until next year in january but i have watched the dvd many a time now and even know the songs by heart being a budding singer. i would recommened this to anyone of all ages as it takes everyone on the same journey of self discovery. and really does let you become a kid again.
