Sunday THE 13th with Cirque De Soleil

The weekend did start pretty well...Amazing dinner from receipies from a lot of places around the world, and then two nights of dancing, and one night of getting drunk !!!

What a weekend it was till Sunday...

I knew there was something planned for Sunday evening, but my bugger brother had not told me yet !!! So I knew we were to reach somewhere by 1900 hrs, and I would get late in reaching back home to Horley, and that there was no photography allowed...

And It was NEAT and Phenomenal (thanks aqui for reminding me of these :)

I got out of the bus, and what I see is that I am standing in front of the Royal Albert Hall, Kensington, London !!!

This is a shocker in itself... Every time I passed through that place, I used to wonder about how would it be to watch a show here, and there it was... right there in front of me and I was about to watch

Cirque De Soleil (Means Circus of the Sun)

This is an annual Circus event that is presented in the Royal Albert Hall ...

And this year's show was Varekai (Means Wherever in Romani Language)!!!


What followed in the next few hours is something that I am not capable of describing in words the way it happened... The most colorful of the dresses, the most flawless moves, people flying around coming out of nowhere, people jumping atleast 20 ft high in air, people balancing themselves with one hands 30 ft in air, and more and more and more...

I would leave it to the following pictures ( picked up from the official website) and a few videos that I managed to find over the internet to really show you what was happening there... Mind you these pictures and videos are nowhere close to how it felt during the 2 hours I was sitting in that auditorium...

Triple Trapeze

Water Meteors

Georgian Dance

Handbalancing on Canes (Me and Abhishek, both fell in love with this girl Irina, :D )

Flight of Icarus, The way this guy kept flying around with ease was unbelievable... I think I was in so much AWE throughout that I did not even clap and kept wondering what was happening...

The Musicians

The Russian Swings... (My favorite of all the acts) Amazing Energy, Amazing Flawless Fearless Performances)

Take sometime off, put some headphones to your ears and enjoy the videos that follow...
