Dralion

Myself & 2 friends took a trip up to London yesterday to see Cirque Du Soleil's Dralion at the Royal Albert Hall.
I don't visit London that often, I've always thought of it as a really daunting place.
While walking to the theatre though I saw a beautifully lit open air art exhibition. It seemed strange but so pleasing to see something so peaceful out in the open hustle of the big city. I really wish we weren't so pressed for time, it just looked a really nice thing to do.
I've probably only visited my capital a dozen times, 3 such visits were to see various Cirque Du Soleil shows.
I was really looking forward to seeing this show specifically for a single juggler named Viktor Kee. What makes him so special is not what he juggles (he does do some highly technical stuff but nothing world beating), but how he moves while doing it. Viktor is a really big man, the amount of power he puts into moving his frame so fast & so fluidly is amazing. His whole body twists & turns in wild serpentine swoops. No other juggler I have ever seen puts so much energy into creating their presence on stage.
He was a real delight to watch.
See it if you get the chance.
