Cirque du Soleil - "IRIS" /Dolby Theater, Hollywood, CA





I had the fortune of being gifted  a ticket to see Iris (pronounced ee-rees) at the Dolby Theater, (formally Kodak Theater), in Hollywood.  The show was a whimsical homage to cimena.  I loved the costumes, the live action with projected image, the dancers, contortionists, aerialists , acrobats and the animatronic camera-like creatures, (my favorites).

The 200 awe-inspiring costumes by Philippe Guillote for the production were fantastic!   Besides the animatronic camera-like creatures being my favorite, the proxinoscope costume was my mostest favorite!  Below are "a few photos":


Lights were flickering as the skirt was revolving around the  charachter!
You had to be here.  Amazing!

The costumes were fantastic, however, the show was missing something... cohesion maybe?
But, on a positive note, there is nothing like the creative energy of a live stage performance!  And I enjoyed every minute of it!!  Thank you Ms. D. for the ticket!  Best wishes to the cast and crew.
