Product Description
From Amazon.com
Even by the high standards of Cirque du Soleil, Varekai is outstanding. While this artsy circus often aspires to weave a narrative through its spectacular events, in Varekai that story (about a winged boy who falls to earth and falls in love with a caterpillar girl) is as delightful and engaging as the acrobatic feats--which is saying a lot, because these feats will leave you agog. Acrobats juggle each others' bodies with their legs; identical twins spin on aerial straps; a contortionist twists into uncanny pretzel shapes; and much, much more. The elaborate costumes truly do evoke an otherworldly place--one of the clown characters looks like a man's torso emerging from the mouth of a carnivorous plant. Exceptionally well-filmed, and featuring a wealth of extra features about the making of the show, Varekai is Cirque du Soleil at the peak of its powers: Dizzy, dazzling, and sexy. --Bret Fetzer

EXCELLENT - A MUST BUY & MUST SEE,
This review is from: Cirque du Soleil: Varekai (DVD)
I saw this show first on the Bravo Channel and then I saw the live show in Pomona. I absolutely HAD to buy the DVD. First of all, the clowns were totally hilarious. My sides were hurting I laughed so hard. The acrobatics, Icarian games, balancing act, trapeze act, and aerial straps were beautiful, amazing, and striking.The DVD has spectacular footage and great camera angles. The sound is great on the DVD. Maybe even better than at the live show. If people were not getting good sound, they may need to adjust their speakers? There are interviews, the special "Fire Within," and other things on the DVD. 2 Disk Set. Well worth the money.

This review is from: Cirque du Soleil: Varekai (DVD)
Cirque du Soleil is habitually fantastic. They missed the target this time. Long and boring. Watching this show is a waste of time. Sorry.

Spastic MTV style camera work renders Varekai unwatchable.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Cirque du Soleil: Varekai (DVD)
I'm a fan of Cirque du Soleil. I consider the performances to be art and have seen several live.It is a shame the editing of so many of the Cirque DVD's completely destroy the mood and pace of the show. Everyone that sees Varekai (DVD)is annoyed by the headache-inducing constant (read every 2 seconds) camera changes, fades, Buy the Quidam DVD and accept that Cirque once did a good job filming a performance but there were no more to be had.
