Cirque du Soleil Melbourne - Saltimbanco 2011

My oh my, i feel like i spent way too much money on clothes now..
i have been thinking how in the world would someone need this much clothes..
but shoes is not included, woman does needs a lot of shoes..

anw, what got me thinking this way is when im about to buy my Cirque du Soleil ticket..
their last year tour to Australia was when i still have no idea what the hell is so special with this circus.. until one day, i watch ANTM and *boom*.. one word, AWESOME..
i put a note in my head that if they ever decided to come back to Australia, i will have to go.. my friend, Tommy, did go last year and asked me to come with him, but i refused after knowing the ticket price is around $150.. but, as i said, if they are coming this year, i am going to watch..
so here i am, i hate the fact that i should have safe some money for this kind of events.. instead of clothes.. haish..

ok ok, more about Cirque du Soleil itself..
if am not wrong, last year show was Alegria..
this year show in Australia is the Saltimbanco one, which will be cheerfull and colourful show..
just what i needed to keep my self-esteem high.. =)
a quick reference from their official website
Saltimbanco -from the Italian "saltare in banco", which literally means "to jump on a bench"-explores the urban experience in all its myriad forms: the people who live there, their idiosyncrasies and likenesses, families and groups, the hustle and bustle of the street and the towering heights of skyscrapers. Between whirlwind and lull, prowess and poetry, Saltimbanco takes spectators on an allegorical and acrobatic journey into the heart of the city.

Saltimbanco is a Cirque du Soleil signature show inspired by the urban fabric of the metropolis and its colorful inhabitants. Decidedly baroque in its visual vocabulary, the show's eclectic cast of characters draws spectators into a fanciful, dreamlike world, an imaginary city where diversity is a cause for hope.
