This is my third show in 20 years. First, Allegria. Then Kooza. Now Varekai. In an arena, rather than a tent or one of their permanent installations, there is not enough height for a decent aerial show. Many acts I'm used to seeing were absent. It was 80% clowning and only 20% acrobatics (and I am being generous in including a baton twirler, break dancer and juggler as "acrobats"). There was about ten minutes of "Oooh" in 2 hours of "Zzzzzzzz". The plot was fuzzy and difficult to understand. The creepy, mysterious enchantment you're used to seeing is completely absent. The music and dialogue were very canned. Although they may always be lip synching to a recording, you could really, REALLY tell. It was like watching "The Wiggles, Live".
