OhmyflyingleapingsoaringsingingGod...
Cirque Du Soleil's Varekai kicked strange reptile/human ass. Everything about it was absolutely OUT OF THIS WORLD! The costumes! The music! The props! The dancers! The COLOUR! Ahh!I had seen one of CDS's performances on DVD at a friend's place (Su!) a long time ago, and I wasn't very compelled and awed by the colours and choreography of the dances. I honestly thought it was quite boring.
Watching them, live and upfront is a great big difference. It's just absolutely stunning to watch. The dancers are brilliant and graceful in the way they move and bend. I was really stunned during the entire show.
And really, I suppose missing out on 2 hours of study for Varekai doesn't deserve to be on my regret list.
Being in a large tent all night, we really didn't know what was happening on the outside. When the whole performance ended, we slowly moved towards the exits, where people had halted and shuffled along to the sides. It was raining. No, let me make it clearer.
It was pouring. Raining cats and dogs. But being the crazy-blooded St Caths boarders we were, realising we had school tomorrow and a bus waiting outside the entertainment grounds more than a km away, we ran for it. Thank goodness for my sweater, which protected myself from catching a cold as a result of the wet. Otherwise the rest of me was soaking wet. I felt like I had just jumped into the shower and out without a towel to dry my hair. People are going to get sick soon, I can sense it.
Tomorrow's pinks notices:
"Attention all tutorgroups: all boarders are absent. Sick from last night's rain."
If only!
Well I must be studying for a little Japanese vocabulary test tomorrow. I wished I'd done some work during today's two concurrent free periods. I'm such an idiot.
Cheers.
PS. Some pictures taken at the circus.
