Litigation, Law Clerks & Cirque Du Soleil: Lessons Learned

I recently had the pleasure of going to see Cirque du Soleil: Echo in Toronto’s Big Top with my wife and daughter.

I must’ve seen about 5 Cirque’s, and I love each and every one of them. 

Their shows are exhilarating, amusing and hugely entertaining.

The Cirque performers are exceedingly talented.

We saw tight rope walkers jump through the air and land on a thin wire, hundreds of feet above the ground.

We saw gymnasts fly through the air on trapeze.

We saw performers turn into human ladders.

We saw one contortionist twist his body into a pretzel and spin his head around (I had to look away).

Even the clowns, musicians and singers were enormously talented.

If you can, get tickets and go.

But why was this Cirque show different than all past shows that I have seen?

Because at the end of the show, the Cirque performers came out on stage to take a bow.

But then something happened that I have never seen before.
