Possibly my favourite act from any show, ever. Performed by John Gilkey, from the show Quidam, by cirque du soleil. The song is Gopher Mambo by Yma Sumac.
On a side note, cirque’s definition of the word Quidam was used for the description of my blog because I think it beautifully sums up the show itself and what I’d like to think my blog is about. The full definition reads: Quidam: a nameless passer-by, a solitary figure lingering on a street corner, a person rushing past and swallowed by the crowd. It could be anyone, anybody. Someone coming or going at the heart of our anonymous society. A member of the crowd, one of the silent majority. The one who cries out, sings and dreams within us all. This is the “quidam” whom this show allows to speak. This is the place that beckons - a place for dreaming and genuine relations where all quidams, by proclaiming their individuality, can finally emerge from anonymity.
I love every single aspect of the show, and to me it is sheer perfection.
Keep Calm and love Jason Berrent
