Chicago: Cirque Shanghai

This Friday, our group went to see Cirque Shanghai; Chicago’s Asian twist on the ever popular Cirque de Soleil. This was no mere circus act. The jugglers tossed just about anything in perfect unison and timing. A bike, we found out, could fit over 10 people on it, and the human neck can hold much more weight than we ever thought possible! The acrobats glided through the air and balanced on EACH OTHER! CE’s own Alec got to go on stage, though he did not participate with the pocket bikes in the circle cage, he definitely captured the audience with his antics in attempting to mimic our ringleaders juggling skills. Overall an amazing show that left everyone wanting to do back flips as they filed out.
