They always pick the guy with the wire

Last night I saw Cirque du Soleil's Varekai, and I definitely recommend it. It was funny, thrilling and brilliant, sometimes all at once. It's like watching contortionists dancing ballet in zero gravity. I couldn't quite follow the story, though. As near as I could tell, there was some winged boy who fell from the sky, then had his wings stolen. He saw some animals, then I think there was a fire. In the end he got married. I guess the story isn't the most important part here.

Mokalus of Borg

PS - There appears to be a video clip sample on the website.
PPS - Most of the music, as far as I could tell, was performed live.
