Cirque du Soleil’s productions with their amazingly overwhelming energy always make me quiver both mentally and physically. As the curtain opened, “ZED” with its dynamic staging created in the resident theatre, instantly took me into a world of fantasy. It was an experience unlike any other, just as if I was lost on a journey in the world of "ZED".
The world of "ZED" conceived through rich creativity and played out with superb physical prowess is just amazing. It was just too impressive for words. I just can’t find the right words to convey the feelings.
It’s a very special world which only those who actually see it with their own eyes at the theatre can experience.
Cirque’s "ZED" made me once again realize the magical power and marvel of live stage performances. Thank you so much, "ZED"! I just can’t wait to see it again!!
