"This new show is based on movement and performance, and will feature acrobatic dance, martial arts, puppets, music, singing and Cirque du Soleils acrobatic savoir-faire and will illustrate the battle that life forces us to wage against ourselves."

Have you ever wanted to run away and join the circus? ... but you aren't the bearded lady, a midget or the world's strongest man???
You say you're a "martial artist"?

Well you can now join the circus ... well at least the Cirque du Soleil

Just thought maybe someone here may want a new career!

Actually, this French "circus" is probably realizing the success of the Wheel of Life by incorporating martial arts.
If you have ever seen any of the shows ... many of the acrobatics are truly awesome. Would love to see capoeira and yes,..... some "flashy TKD kicks!!

Interesting post KickChick. I hope they hold their martial artist to the same high standards as their other performers. It would make for a spectacular show.

They are actually a Canadian company although they have grown to incorporate performers from around the globe. I don't know if I agree with the Wheel of life connection. The show was pretty bad.
