One of many Cirque du Soleil performances, Wintuk is probably not the best. Being my first, I didn’t have many expectations. The beginning dragged a bit, but picked up soon afterwards. The music wasn’t memorable either. It seemed to cater to children more than adult audience. Among my favorite acts were the tight rope walker and the hula-hoop girl. It was nerve racking watching the tight rope walker; the string he was walking on moved so much and he didn’t screw up once! Watching the hula-hoop girl was really cool too because as she added more hoops, she turned into a gyrating cylinder. The juggler dropped some balls and didn’t impress me too much. I probably didn’t like it as much as other theatre outings, because I’m not a big circus person. Overall, it was an okay experience and I loved how in the end we were showered with paper snowflakes.
