Mystere by Cirque du Soleil Las Vegas Show Review

The show opens with a funny clown playing jokes on the crowd as they enter the theater. Once the show begins, patrons are enthralled by a variety of circus-style acts that perform on the stage. The Tissu performance is an intriguing combination of grace and illusion as the artist contorts and twists her body in a mystical way. Another portion of the show includes a fascinating Chinese pole routine that highlights the agility and strength of the performers as they leap from pole to pole. The pole artists wear two masks that give them the ability to never take their eyes off the audience. Guests are amazed as the forty plus entertainers assault the four silver poles.

One other segment of Mystere by Cirque du Soleil Las Vegas show illustrates the strength of two men as they help each other to levitate, twist and contort their bodies while the two artists stand on a rotating sphere. The gymnastic feats accomplished with the help of a teeterboard can only be described as breath taking. The trapeze artists rely on death defying summersaults, mid-air catches and incredible strength to complete their performance. Utilizing over twenty-two miles of bungee cord the teeterboard acrobats perform summersaults and twists as they are flung into the air from this typical circus-style prop. There are aerialist artists that are attached to over seven miles of wire during their performance as they fly through the air completing incredible gymnastic maneuvers. As the show closes and the stage is filled with Japanese Taiko drums that beat wildly in an enthusiastic tribal way that brings the audience to their feet for the final time for the evening. Every aspect of Mystere is unique from the mysterious makeup on the entertainers to the intricate designs on the hand painted stage.
