"Amaluna" by Cirque du Soleil

Saturday we headed to one of my favorite events to see when it comes to town- Cirque du Solei. As usual Amaluna did not disappoint in putting on a great showing of acrobatics and a great storyline.

Amaluna is a show about a mysterious island governed by goddesses and guided by the cycles of the moon. The queen, Prospera, directs her daughter's coming-of-age ceremony in a rite that honours femininity, renewal, rebirth, and balance -- marking the passage of these insights and values from one generation to the next.

In the wake of a storm caused by Prospera, a group of young men lands on the island, triggering an epic and emotional story of love between Prospera's daughter and her brave suitor. Their love is put to the test as the couple must face demanding trials and overcome daunting setbacks before they can achieve mutual trust, faith, and harmony.

While we couldn't take pictures under the big top I did find a couple online. If you get a chance to see this show I would highly recommend it.
