Alaska has been invaded by clowns. Cirque du Soliel's production of Dralion is on tour in Fairbanks this week, and Casey bought us tickets to last night's show. The strange name is an amalgamation of Dragon and Lion, meant to represent the show's East meets West theme, combining elements of traditional Chinese and contemporary circus acts. Casey and I have had little luck with shows in Fairbanks, the Nutcracker was performed in a high-school gym using a recorded soundtrack and a loud stompy stage, so we didn't know what to expect from this show. The verdict: better than we anticipated. The entire set and costumes were visually stunning, the music was all performed live, and the acts were amazing. My favorites were the trampoline, single hand balance, and the women who hung off a large metal hoop from only her neck. If the clowns invade your town, you should definitely pay them a visit.
