Totem, Cirque su Soleil

Hello everyone !

Hope you are all well.
Last week I went to Cirque du Soleil, the world famous circus from Quebec who was in Paris with its show Totem from the 25th of October to the 2nd of December.

Totem retraces the evolution of humanity from its primordial, amphibian state toward the aspiration of flight.
Here are some pictures from the main acts in Totem:

My favorite part of the show was the two acts involving Native American hoop dance (first video below), the unicycles (second video below) as well as the russian bars and the couple roller skating on a tiny round platform (third video below).




Have you seen Totem ? Did you like it ?
If you haven't, I'd really recommend going, it is truly an extraordinary show and it's absolutely worth it!
