Cirque du soleil - Corteo

Angels spinning wildly overhead, hanging from a candelabra. This is seriously creative theater. Incredibly beautiful visual effects.

Here the angels are surrounding a bed flying up to the heavens, taking with it the main character who is dying. The show is kind of a circus funeral.

I highly recommend going to see this event. I have seen 6 other Cirque du Soleil shows, 3 of which were traveling shows. Though it is hard to top the stationary shows in Las Vegas for their sheer spectacle, this was by far my favorite traveling show, and one of the best executions of a theme that I have seen.

Cirque du soleil. Photos taken illegally with camera phone. Was not caught this time.
