Experience
Paradis
(Apr.21.2005 - Aug.2018; Feb.22.2019+)


The "Paradis" act brings together two circus skills that have never been combined before: the Korean Cradle and the Tramponet (a combination of trampoline and safety net). The artists are thrown between three Korean Cradle stations placed at an unprecedented distance from each other, and rebound off the Tramponet, which is 30 m long. A universe is created in which high-flying and bouncing come together, as if it were the most natural thing in the world, in a single breathtaking act.

Upon returning from intermission we peer through the scrim to see what looks like a large safety net apparatus laid across the floor of the stage. As the second half starts a team of acrobats bounce across the net using it as a trampoline in an act Cirque du Soleil calls "Paradise" Eventually, catchers perched overhead on Korean cradles catch the bounding acrobats and toss them about on the trampo-net. The act segues into a full-fledged Korean cradle number as performers are tossed from one cradle station to another while performing elaborate aerial twists and flips. While it is an interesting concept showing a great deal of potential, the staging of the act leaves much to be desired. The Paradise act will undoubtedly increase in skill level and improve in presentation as it has time to evolve.
