We are sat in a dome. It's dark with a dim spot light focused on the centre stage. Then the drums start and a voice booms from the speakers to announce the start of the Circus Show.
The show was full of acts where the gymnasts and acrobats demonstrated their flexibility, twisting their bodies into shapes and positions that I didn't know were physically possible. The strength and control that they had over their bodies was impressive.
There were the boys that jumped through hoops at various heights. You could hear the intake of breath as they made jump after jump.
And then they took it one step further, by jumping around on what can only be described as a ferris wheel made out of hoops. This act actually made me feel a little queasy. There were a couple of times where a fraction of a second would have made a difference as to whether they remained on the wheel or plummeted to the ground.
One of my favourite acts of the night was the aerial silk performance. It was a romantic act; you could feel the emotion as they flew around the stage, grasping on to each other as though as if their lives depended on it.
The last act of the night were the space motorcycles whizzing around in a spherical cage. There were a total of 7 in at one time. How they didn't hit each other was a miracle. It was a great finale to the show.
