Synopsis
The highly awaited, internationally acclaimed production of 'Shanghai' by Cirque Du Ciel comes to the UK this year- for the very first time!
Our Review:
Glenn Meads - 4 June 2012
Cirque Du Ciel's new show Shang-Hi is a good old-fashioned variety show for the whole family. It succeeds because just when you think the talented troupe have upped the ante, they surprise you with another superb stunt.Audiences used to the wow factor of Cirque Du Soleil may be slightly disappointed with the production values here. But to be honest, I can live without the annoying clowns and the smoke and mirrors. The reason being, that the acrobatics on display here simply shines without effects, gimmicks and miming to backing tracks.
The narrative involving a young girl and her dreams starts to become repetitive but director Zhang Wan manages to include elements of ballet, dance, acrobatics, gymnastics, juggling, and stunning aerial displays. Each and every one of the performers are excellent as they bring so much passion and verve to the piece. And the live drumming does provide the piece with a heartbeat.
