This was my fourth show of the French-Canadian circus troupe and so far it’s the funniest\u00a0because the comic-relief characters are larger participants than those recall from O<\/em>, Mystere<\/em> and Alegria<\/em>. It still has mostly serious moments involving acrobats, trapeze artists and contortionists. Dralion<\/em> also features a juggler who could give the Flying Karamazov Brothers fits with the stuff he did and the singers (doing the usual Cocteau Twins gibberishspeak) were active participants.<\/span><\/p>\n What’s the story? I have no idea. I didn’t buy a program and I doubt it would make any difference. My best guess is it’s some fusion of the elements (Earth, Wind, Water and Fire) and several cultures (China, India or Bali, Equatorial Africa and a generic Europe) demonstrating their thing for a while; there’s some little creature running around with an hourglass to kick it off. Cirque doesn’t necessarily require a narrative to be enjoyed.<\/span><\/p>\n Should Dralion<\/em> come to your city, I recommend checking the show out. Children under 10-12 will probably bored and tickets ran at least $40 in Austin so purchase them wisely.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This was my fourth show of the French-Canadian circus troupe and so far it’s the funniest\u00a0because the comic-relief characters are larger participants than those recall from O, Mystere and Alegria.
