Storyline

Frac, a mime who is suffering from a severe bout of depression, happens to meet a troupe of circus entertainers and immediately falls in love with one of the stars, Giulietta. But while his affection for Giulietta and admiration for the performers gives him a new lease on life, Giulietta's father, the leader of the troupe, opposes the relationship and is determined to keep them apart. Meanwhile, Frac and Giulietta discover a gang of children who are held prisoner by a criminal leader who forces them to do his bidding, and they devise a plan to win the kids their freedom.—Mark Deming

Short Review

The thing that stands out most about this particular Cirque Du Soleil show is not the stunning acrobatics, but the music and color. I guess that's kind of disappointing in comparison to some of the other productions I've seen, but it was definitely more interesting and flowed better than Corteo or Varekai, so it wasn't a total loss. Not as memorable as some of the other shows I've seen, but certainly not the worst.
