Valentine's Day - perfect night for the Circus


Went to see La Clique this V Day. Highly recommend it!

I've always loved subversive cultures, a way of living this thing called life differently. A goodbye to convention and societal pressure. All bets off and sky's the limit (especially for trapeze artists). Gypsies, punks, circus performers and artists enthrall me. Giving the inverse peace sign to the staid rules, they chose to live by their own beliefs.

La Clique was a highly entertaining Cabaret meets Circus meets Vaudeville show, from an amazing contortionist, roller-skating dare devils, sensual hula-hoop number, burlesque man in wet jeans in a bathtub and female trapeze artist, it was superb.

Made me want to join the circus. That would be the coolest gig - traveling the world, making people laugh and creating your own pace.
