Venue: Aerocity
We have been in collaboration with Cirque du Soleil for their circus production Bazzar from their orientation sundowner in August 2018. After a successful run in Mumbai they are now in Delhi at GMR Aerocity. We managed to catch the show over the weekend and there was palpable enthusiasm in the full house.
The show combined daring acrobatics, vibrant costumes, live foot-tapping music, drama and comedy under one gigantic roof.
Incidentally the big top tent and the equipments have been brought to India from overseas exclusively for the show. Circus shows are now rare in India. But circuses were an annual ritual in our childhood years and the tent made us nostalgic.
Incidentally, Bazzar had two Indian performers doing the MallaKhamb as one of the acts during the show. This lent an additional connect to the event.
It was an enjoyable evening of course. But it was over even before it started sinking in. The less than two hour show had a half an hour intermission which we think was unreasonable. A few more wow acts would have made the show way more memorable.
However the children seem to be having a great time. We hope that cirque du Soleil is back again with even more magic to entertain us.
Meanwhile they are on till 20th Jan 2019 and you can witness the razzmatazz of Bazzar by Cirque du Soleil for yourself.
I’ve been to a few Cirque performances and they’re always so incredible.
Wow, what a fantastic show. Cirque du Soleil always have wonderful shows!
This looks like an amazing show. I would like to watch this one day. Thanks for sharing.
I’ve always wanted to go to a Cirque du lei show. They have them in Las Vegas here in the U.S. and I’m hoping to go this year.
This looks like it would be so much fun. I have always wanted to go to one of these shows. They come close to us but I just never had the money to secure the tickets.
Sounds great for the event How I wish I have a chance to watch the real circus.
This is in Delhi? That”s strange I was there 2 weeks ago and searched something to do and could not find anything like this.
