Saltimbanco

Overview

We’ve all seen a little bit of Cirque du Soleil at one point or another – for some reason it’s incredibly difficult to avoid. My experience with it involves a ten year old version of myself veging out with my Dad on the couch and watching the colourful acrobatics play out on TV, then attempting to replicate their routines on the living room “stage” (note: I definitely do not recommend doing this, especially if you are unfit/not flexible/clumsy).

Even now, ten years later, watching Cirque du Soleil doesn’t fail to inspire awe and amazement in me - though I’ve stifled my dreams of joining them on the high wire. Who knows, though, my acrobatic hopes may be rekindled when I see the antics of Saltimbanco play out in real life.

Fellow aspiring acrobats, pencil this in your diary: for a limited season, one of the Cirque’s most loved shows, Saltimbanco, is arriving in Brisbane. It’s the perfect occasion to see the eclectic performance in the flesh, but personally I’m going to pick up some new moves.
