Saturday afternon we left SuperPizzaBoy in the hands of a capable sitter and Sweetie and I ventured downtown to the Performing Arts Center to see Cirque Dreams Illumination.
It was amazing. The things I saw I didn’t know people are capable of doing. If I hadn’t seen it live I would think it was done on a computer.
Their own website best describes the production:
“CIRQUE DREAMS ILLUMINATION blends world renowned imagination, critically acclaimed theatrical innovation and breathtaking presentation into a story that illuminates a city of everyday people, workers and pedestrians into feats of disbelief. Marvel as 27 world-class artists illuminate objects, balance on wires, leap structures and redefine flight with entertaining variety, comedy and extraordinary occurrences that reinvent everyday life. Urban acrobatics, dazzling choreography and brilliant illusions are ignited by special effects performed to a stylish original score of jazz, salsa, ballroom, pop and trendy beats from the streets.”
I hate to be such a shill but they are telling the truth. We saw some unbelievable things yesterday done in a very stylish and entertaining manner. Today is its last day in Tulsa.
I give it four stars out of four.
We saw this in Denver – it was a great show! Made me want to join the circus.
That really is amazing, thanks for sharing.

We saw them in Toronto, they are great. They are on TV a lot, and I used to show the videos while teaching. They are inspiring.
There are several different shows and each is a marvelous as the next. I do good to stay on a bicycle on flat ground. What they do is beyond awesome.
This was a great show.
Looks like a great show! I’ve only been to the circus once when I was a kid but I have very fond memories of it. What they did was pretty amazing!
My wife Susan has season tickets to this series. She and a group of her lady friends will meet and have dinner together then go to the show. Me? I’m sitting with the grand children. Their dad is working and their mom is away. So Smokey and I are in charge. It sounds like Sue is in for a treat.
They truly are amazing! I have never seen them except on TV. I’m sure it must be a treat to see them perform live!
I’d never heard of them. Wish we’d gone!
I LOVE this stuff. We’ve been to four Cirque Du Soliel shows and I am always amazed. Like you, I didn’t know the human body was capable of doing some of these things.
Side note: I believe the “popper” dancer was on So You Think You Can Dance a couple of seasons ago. He is simply incredible.
Gosh love all the Cirque shows. We saw two in Vegas last week, Zumanity and KA. AWESOME…although Zumanity was adults only!!!!!
