Cirque du Soleil: Crystal
By Charlotte Stace
What better way to escape the January blues than with the crazy, colourful whimsy of Cirque du Soleil? Well, now you can with their performance of CRYSTAL.
CRYSTAL explores the artistic limits of ice for the first time in the company's 33-year history. This unique production pushes boundaries of performance by combining stunning skating and acrobatic feats that defy the imagination. Gymnasts and skaters perform acrobatics on the ice and in the air, seamlessly combining multiple disciplines for a world class audience experience. Synchronised skating, freestyles figures, and extreme skating are featured alongside traditional circus disciplines such as swinging trapeze, aerial traps and hand to hand.
And all this with a soundtrack featuring songs by Beyoncé, U2, Nina Simone and Sia. It’s not unusual for performances by the Cirque du Soleil to sell out so make sure to buy your tickets now before they’re gone.
