We had the pleasure of receiving 4 tickets and a backstage tour of Cirque du Soleil when it preformed at BankAtlantic. We along with the Ward's were amazed by the characters and costumes. We spent the entire show mentally matching up the actors we met backstage with the characters on the stage. We 'heart' Brian for gifting us these wonderful memories.
Saltimbanco -from the Italian "saltare in banco", which literally means "to jump on a bench"-explores the urban experience in all its myriad forms: the people who live there, their idiosyncrasies and likenesses, families and groups, the hustle and bustle of the street and the towering heights of skyscrapers. Between whirlwind and lull, prowess and poetry, Saltimbanco takes spectators on an allegorical and acrobatic journey into the heart of the city. Saltimbanco is a Cirque du Soleil signature show inspired by the urban fabric of the metropolis and its colorful inhabitants. Decidedly baroque in its visual vocabulary, the shows eclectic cast of characters draws spectators into a fanciful, dreamlike world, an imaginary city where diversity is a cause for hope.
(We met both the juggler and dreamer backstage.)
