At first I thought I was going to see a knock off of a Cirque du Soleil show but I was pleased to see it wasn’t (though having said that it must be noted I’m a huge fan of the Cirque franchise). Momix Opus Cactus was more dance than circus. But merely calling it dance really doesn’t do the show any justice. Its probably a little cheesy to say but it really was like moving art.

I could go on an on about the inventiveness of the performances with acts including a swing-hammock, low trapeze, glow-in-the dark tumbleweed type things (can’t even describe this), rolling jacks (think skateboard type use), and this massive thing which defies description (see the picture to the right instead) but I think instead I will leave it to these pictures, courtesy of Momix.

Momix Opus Cactus is definitely something that needs to be experienced rather than read about.
