As each act is completed, showmanship and skill are raised to new levels, as if they're trying to top one another. And as a result, we're drawn more into this strangely entertaining place. 

 Stunning costumes dipped subtly in naturalistic colors of bright reds, greens, and blues symbolizes parts of imaginative story-telling that Cirque Du Soleil has become infamous for. Though the show is over two-hours, it moves very quickly from one act to another and features an intermission that's surprisingly used more as a time where everyone discusses their favorite moments of the show than a bathroom or snack break. 

 The thing that makes Cirque Du Soleil so amazing is the transformative nature it represents. From the divinely mystical singing and live instrumentation, to the stage layouts and that are suitable for acts that appear physically impossible. We're welcomed into a world of beautiful aesthetics that we've never seen, and never want to leave by the end of the show.
