Movie Reviews of Cirque du Soleil - Dralion
Movie Review: Amazing show!
Summary: 5 Stars
This Cirque de Soleil is one of the best. It has a bright, colorful theme. The program includes acts like a fabulous juggler, aerial acrobats/dancers, Chinese tumblers and contortionists, and amazing parasol juggler. The clown acts are the funniest thing I've ever seen. The music is odd, but not irritating. My girls watched it for the first time ever and then turned around and watched it again. It's great.
Summary of Cirque du Soleil - Dralion
A combination of ancient chinese circus tradition and the avant-garde this is a celebration of life and the four elements: air earth water and fire propelled into a futuristic dimension. The costumes reflect the cinema fantastique while the music bursts into the electro-symphonic. Studio: Sony Pictures Home Ent Release Date: 09/23/2008 Run time: 89 minutes Rating: NrThe Chinese consider the lion a symbol of good luck, so it's a half-dragon, half-lion--a dralion--that is the symbol of the East-meets-West fusion of this Cirque du Soleil show, in which 36 Chinese acrobats join the renowned Canadian troupe. Celebrating the four elements as represented in four colors-- blue (air), green (water), red (fire), and ochre (earth)--Dralion combines ancient Chinese circus traditions with Cirque du Soleil's usual stunning elements: the techno-oriented single ring; the multicolored lights and costumes; the music that mixes rock, New Age, and various world influences (though not Chinese); and the madcap clowns that pull a victim out of the audience (he turns out to be a terrific sport).
But of course the main reason to watch a Cirque du Soleil show is the acrobatic stunts, those eye-popping displays of agility, balance, and strength. You'll see an acrobat balancing on one hand, a brawny juggler, a high-flying teeterboard act, a double trapeze, contortionists, a parasol turned and tossed atop a foot, furiously synchronized hoop-diving, unbelievable rope-skipping, and more. While nothing can match the experience of seeing this troupe live, the video does offer some choice close-ups that you would never get from your seat, and you can't ask the live performers to repeat your favorite stunts over and over again. And you'll want to see them over and over because Dralion is a dazzler. --David Horiuchi
