The only problem with this show is\u2026that it had to end.<\/p>\n

Not to be confused with Cirque Du Soleil (though they both originate from Canada), Cirque Eloize iD is a circus act that centers around the urban street scene -think West Side Story, break dancing, graffiti-sprayed walls etc.\u2026Blending jaw dropping, circus acts which include street bikes, contortionist, in-line skating and more that blew our mind away!<\/p>\n

In fact it is the street setting, a less theatrical setting which the general public can identify with, that enhanced the appeal for this unique production. Performed by the Montreal-based circus company Cirque Eloize, the 1 week only shows at MasterCard Theatres at Marina Bay Sands Centre are a visual celebration of performing arts, blending all forms of dance and physical flexibility using genres of street-dance, hip-hop and acrobatics. Every act seemed so humanly unattainable yet so precisely executed! Accompanied by the stunning visual video projection backdrops, the performances drew gasps, spontaneous applause and bewilderment from the audience, young and old.<\/p>\n

Right from the get go, the opening act with the \u2018pole man\u2019 got us transfixed to the stage. The artist scales the pole several feet high with such great ease that it looks as if there was some invisible hand pushing him up. He then free-falls down the pole head first, stopping just inches from the ground. The subsequent acts came fast and furious, riveting us to our seats. The energy is palpable, the music pulsating with the occasional mystic touch. This is one cirque production that kept us at the edge of the seat all the way with their top-notch acrobatic acts.<\/p>\n
