1
00:00:00,840 --> 00:00:04,520
Speaker 1: Jersey and Amanda gem Nation. So I went to see

2
00:00:04,559 --> 00:00:06,920
Speaker 1: Cirqu de Siles Loser. It's under the big Top at

3
00:00:06,920 --> 00:00:10,520
Speaker 1: the Entertainment Quarter. I've seen Cirqu Desila before and I

4
00:00:10,560 --> 00:00:15,640
Speaker 1: wonder how different it can be. This was incredibly different.

5
00:00:15,760 --> 00:00:20,920
Speaker 1: It was extraordinary. I'm still gobsmacked, to be frank. And

6
00:00:21,160 --> 00:00:23,560
Speaker 1: when you walk in, it's a big fiesta. Go. This

7
00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:26,920
Speaker 1: is a Mexican theme and so there's sort of Mexican music,

8
00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:30,760
Speaker 1: there's food stalls. The whole Mexican quarter around the big

9
00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:33,159
Speaker 1: top is brilliant. So give yourself some time to a

10
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:35,479
Speaker 1: rand around before where colatures were performed as well in

11
00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:38,520
Speaker 1: that big top? Did they? Yeah, well, this is sort

12
00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:40,520
Speaker 1: of I don't know if it's the same big top

13
00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:45,240
Speaker 1: as the Losier people. Maybe they have their own big top.

14
00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:47,839
Speaker 1: But you sit around in a circle and it's a

15
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:51,559
Speaker 1: full circus feel, and I was reminded so much of

16
00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:54,240
Speaker 1: it being like a circus, because there were moments in

17
00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:57,200
Speaker 1: it where your hands are over your face, you're nudging

18
00:00:57,200 --> 00:00:58,680
Speaker 1: the people next to you, going, oh my god, I

19
00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:00,920
Speaker 1: can't believe I'm seeing this. Because you think you've seen

20
00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:03,520
Speaker 1: trapeze artists before, and then I'll just do something that

21
00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:06,880
Speaker 1: you think, I've never seen anything like it. There's water

22
00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:10,480
Speaker 1: pouring from the ceiling and then it's suddenly it disappears.

23
00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:15,840
Speaker 1: There are trapeze artists or there are people up on poles,

24
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:18,240
Speaker 1: and you think, what body part is that? No alone's

25
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:21,240
Speaker 1: turning themselves inside out. It's quite extremes, a lot of

26
00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:25,800
Speaker 1: a lot of loins. There's a set on these swings

27
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:28,040
Speaker 1: and you just ad gas. You think they're not going

28
00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:30,480
Speaker 1: to get from there to there. It's it's like old

29
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:33,520
Speaker 1: school circus where your eyes are bugging out of your

30
00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:36,520
Speaker 1: head and you can't believe what you're seeing. And let

31
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:38,679
Speaker 1: me show you this. I've got the brochure here. Look

32
00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:44,440
Speaker 1: at that. It's that's a contortionist. Well, it looked like

33
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:48,320
Speaker 1: if that's not a he's got some trouble. But that's

34
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:51,760
Speaker 1: it looks like he's been he's got no spine and

35
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:55,440
Speaker 1: no animals, no real animals, but he looked like he

36
00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:58,360
Speaker 1: had no spine. And it's a mixture of fascination and

37
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:02,480
Speaker 1: revulsion as you watch him writhe around and turn himself

38
00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:04,400
Speaker 1: into circles, and you go, is that his back or

39
00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:07,960
Speaker 1: his front? They put sawdust down. I needed it for

40
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:11,080
Speaker 1: me it is. It is quite extraordinary and if you've

41
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:15,079
Speaker 1: seen cirk Deslay before, this is nothing like anything you've

42
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:17,640
Speaker 1: ever seen, but it is so worth this. Two thumbs

43
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:19,920
Speaker 1: up from lunch, two thumbs up from me. It's on

44
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:24,079
Speaker 1: until February nine, so a great Christmas present for somebody.

45
00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:28,120
Speaker 1: It's called Lousier the cirk Deslay. Highly recommended from me,

46
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:30,359
Speaker 1: who I must say, had thought I'd seen it all

47
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:32,400
Speaker 1: with Cirku Deslay. You certainly haven't
