When my mother bought our tickets to see Quidam at the Del Mar Fairgrounds, she was concerned that I would not enjoy the show. Having seen it, I am now concerned that alien brain-eaters have been snacking on my mother's cognitive powers.In a weekend already made spectacular by the opening ceremonies of the twentieth Olympic Winter Games on NBC, Quidam presented all the more eye candy in first rate technical execution and world class physical execution built around a simple and wordless plot. Expertly lit, scored, and choreographed, the acrobatics and pantomime were presented in a perfect concert of sport and theatre. What's not to like? There's even popcorn and candy!
If you get the chance to go to the circus... do. And if that circus happens to have a French name with "Soleil" anywhere in it -- and someone else is buying the tickets -- be prepared to use your best "Thank you, Easter Bunny. Bwak, bwak!" voice.
