Cirque du Soleil

I went to Quidam this weekend and enjoyed it. I didn't like the two fake "audience participation" sequences. They weren't very funny, nor was I even slightly convinced that it was real. There was a sequence involving a nearly nude woman with tight body suit who hung from red drapes and did the usual acrobatics. I shudder to think of the symbolism of the "blood" red cloth and the woman hanging from her waist by these threads... but to each his (or her) own.

However, there was a sequence which involved four of those small China girls who play with the wooden spools on the strings. They're apparently called Diabolos and here's a picture from the same Quidam link above: China girls with Diabolos.

And tears started to well up in my eyes because some day soon, one of those little China girls could be my daughter.
