Varekai in Manila

I am so excited!

I'll get to watch a Cirque du Soleil show, one item off my bucket list. The name translates to Circus of the Sun and it performs acrobatics mixed with street entertainment allowing the company to win  several awards.

The premiere circus company will pitch their famous chapiteaux on the grounds of the Quirino Grandstand.




Aren’t we lucky? 

I and 6 friends purchased tickets for the June 25 show the first weekend of the June 23 – July 24 run in Manila.

Deep within a forest, at the summit of a volcano, exists an extraordinary world—a world where something else is possible. A world called Varekai.

From the sky falls a solitary young man, and the story of Varekai begins. Parachuted into the shadows of a magical forest, a kaleidoscopic world populated by fantastical creatures, this young man sets off on an adventure both absurd and extraordinary. On this day at the edge of time, in this place of all possibilities, begins an inspired incantation to life rediscovered.

The word Varekai means "wherever" in the Romany language of the gypsies the universal wanderers. This production pays tribute to the nomadic soul, to the spirit and art of the circus tradition, and to the infinite passion of those whose quest takes them along the path that leads to Varekai.

The stage lay-out can be found below. Our group opted for the Categorie 1, "200" section seating. According to a friend who has watched the show that section has a good view of the stage without paying the price for the Premium Level. 

I shall see and let you know.
