  • Oh wow. What a night. This review is for VOLTA now running in Toronto at the portlands. I had long heard about how amazing cirque was but having never been I was unsure of what to actually expect. My past associations with anything circus related typically involved clowns, animals doing tricks, flat soda, and stale popcorn. And rather than being under a big top tent now regularly, take place in a hockey arena. If you recall these types of experiences and were kinda "meh" about them, bring those expectations with you to a cirque show (like I did) because what you'll experience will BLOW YOUR FRICKEN MIND. Cirque is a sophisticated artistic performance circus for adults (and families but the appeal is definitely there for adults where a traditional circus may not be). The set up as you enter the grounds is reminiscent of a night club vibe with strong colours and lighting accenting the pure white tents of the big top. Every detail is meticulously planned to ensure a total customer experience. From the thoughtfulness of concessions, VIP lounges and even futuristic portapotty style bathrooms - which are really anything but that. Feats of athleticism, strength, poise, grace and skill are just some of skills you'll observe while taking in VOLTA from activities as "simple" as jumping rope to a full on high flying aerial BMX assault. What I really enjoyed was that the performances had elements of common circus performance like trapeze and acrobatics but instead of being 100 feet over the ground theyre reconfigured and performed on a different plane to change the experience. I enjoyed that VOLTA also had an underlying storyline with a lesson which they used to help showcase the various performances. And what circus performance would be complete without some comedic clowning around. Note I didn't say clowns.. for those with that fear. Just simple old school slapstick comedy which appealed to the kids in the audience and the kid in me, without the terrifying make up and oversized shoes. As a first cirque experience it was exceptional and it's a perfect spot for a date night (they serve alcohol in the lobby which they do not accept tips for!) And looking ahead, Cirque Du Soleil will be an annual event that we will be attending.
