We greatly enjoyed Mystere, particularly the changes that were possible with the moving stage. We had seen La Nouba in Orlando a few months earlier. Out of the two shows, I prefered La Nouba, as it is much more athletic, whereas Mystere seems to place emphasis on artistry over athleticism. From the front row, it was clear that this is an older show, as some of the costumes and props were quite dirty and worn. The entertainment value was not inhibited by this, though. The show runs about 1.5 hours nonstop. The standard tumbling and trapeze acts were part of the show but were much more innovative and daring than an average circus. The show had two very funny characters interlaced in and out of the plot as well. Be careful if you sit in the front row! You may be participating more than you'd like!

Cirque du Soleil is known for their acrobatics, and I was surprised to see one of the trapeze artists fall. Since this is a rare event, it was sort of cool to see a mishap like this, although I would have preferred to see the completed stunt. I really enjoyed the music, so after the show finished in a quick 100 minutes, we went back to the gift shop, which was mobbed with people, to buy a CD as a souvenir. I can't wait until the next Cirque show, either Zumanity or Ka.
