Cirque Du Soleil's TOTEM: A review

A good feeling of familiarity at the Cirque du Soleil performance Totem:

The Big Tent



The beautiful stage


The excited audience.


And of course the acrobatics and the staging.  The giant turtle shell was lifted and the acrobats delivered a precision performance.



One of the crowd favourites were the 5 acrobats on one wheel cycle,


...and the trapeze artists.



While we had the usual comic moments, it tended to drag on a bit.  So it was a weak link for me.  But one could not forget the good musicianship of the show.  Always a pleasure from a Cirque du Soleil production.



It was a good production.  I would prefer the performance to be without the intermission to make it more tight.  But perhaps the organiser need to make some extra revenue from the intermission drinks and the sale of souvenir items.  Recommended.
