Voyage de La Vie

Booklet of Voyage de La Vie and ticket stubs

Are you interested in theatre, musicals, circus or acrobatics? For me, it's the latter.
Animal circus was no longer within reach for its cruelty; the closest i get to acrobats which really interest me would be the Olympics gymnastics - on TV.

But the 90-minutes Voyage de la Vie added clever theatre staging, effects and grace with agility in their stunts, making it a truly entertaining performance. The energy and athleticism of the cast are infectious and seems to rub on me as my Friday night got cheered up.

Watching acrobatics live, before your eye is a very real experience. Without mentioning the more difficult circus acts; nimble balls juggling skit is already mesmerizing! And when the performers somersault themselves across elevated gymnastic bars by balancing solely on their feet, i broke into spontaneous claps!

It wasn't a match to the scale, creativity and sophistication of leading Cirque du Soleil, but for the first circus theatre production created in Singapore, i believe the audience is well entertained tonight.
