This Precious Life

I don’t even know how to begin telling you about the circus formerly known as the Changlong International Circus. The clowns are stupid and funny, the animals are so sweet, the laser lighting is spectacular, the backdrops are breathtaking… someone stop me or I’ll keep on rambling on. If there is one thing I’ve learned about circus shows though, it is that the show does not have to make sense. It can be one utterly incomprehensible bizarro show and still win awards.

Halfway through the show, the sky darkened suddenly. Seconds later, a soft spotlight lit in the middle to reveal a dancer in the air. Then, many small and brilliant spotlights lit all around her…

and it started to rain.

The dancer held on to a thin red ribbon and twirled herself around. Slowly, the lights deepened so we can see further beneath her.

Under her dance, stood a row of real live pink flamingos.

White dancer + red ribbon + rain = pink flamingos. Understand?

Then, a giraffe escaped from behind the stage, galloped around her totally scared the pink flamingos.

The dancer continued. (She is very good). It turned out she was holding on to two red ribbons instead of one.

She split them open with her legs and bound herself with them.

Meanwhile, her colleagues are happily swinging all around her on more red ribbons.

Yep, it all totally makes sense.

Just as this makes sense too.
