Inside Cirque du Soleil

Art, Indulge

  
Cirque’s newest show premiered in Toronto and Luzia was spectacular, magical and breathtaking. It was everything I could have hoped for under a big top. I don’t know if a performance could be better.  

Contortions, trapeze, pole, juggling, flight, strength, balance, ropes, swings, hoops, grace, beauty, water and magic. Let the pictures speak the thousand words. And see it, quickly, before the magic is over.

   
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
  

The show didn’t stop once you stepped outside the tent; Mexican wrestling, red carpets, wine and champagne, celebs and magazine editors …under the night sky.   
    
        
  

Up close and vert yet personal; “Wanna turn around for the good picture”

 

   
    
    
    
 

TBT – Toronto Pride 

Love, Open Letters

In Toronto we love our pride. We live it. I’ve been attending pride for 15 years, only missing one year because I was celebrating a friend’s marriage in Greece. 

Highlight time: 

   
 Orange is The New Black was making dreams come true. On a parade float    

    
  From start to finish the weekend was full of love and firsts…  
Shout it from the rooftop. 
    
    
    
    
   
    
    
Vag Halen performs. And sends a powerful message to people about First Nations rights, trans rights and  Black Lives Matter.    
    
Pride is about being together. With friends and loves. 
    
    
 Canada Day grilling. 

  
    
Brewery time with a glass raised to Canada’s birthday. 

  
The Drake party.     
    
    
When the P gets away. 

 

Theatre – day 167

Theatre - day 167

Two shows for two lovebirds.    My lovely wife and I had a stroll in the garden before the show. 





  The Shaw Festival is our go-to theatre experience. With a wide array of beautiful, sensual and vibrant shows in their season, it’s the perfect date location – especially when you see a lunchtime production of Adventures of the Black Girl in Her Search for God. Spectacular. Period.    

  We followed it up with an evening show of Sweeney Todd.  

 

Sweeney features powerful voices and a dark, decaying and gothically beautiful set.
