I had such a fun night last night. after my four hour tango marathon, where I started to implement strategy "liberate emotions", I went to meet some friends at the circus!
yes my friends, the high top was in town. all red and yellow and blue stripes and as big as I could ever imagine. (you can hear the music in your heads now can't you?) we felt like little kids again as the anticipation built up and the atmosphere grew tense.
there was not an animal in sight, and all the better for it. this was a young circus from french canada, made up of beautiful athletes. Polo Circo would make us laugh and gasp, sad and amazed. they had everything, juggling (whilst cartwheeling of course), trapeze (with obligatory beautiful brunette, again you can hear a song in your head right?), knife throwing (in a kind of pin the tail on the donkey kind of way) and of course springboarding humans across the stage and the cirque du soleil style spinning down a rope.
it was such fun to watch, they choreographed it beautifully and told a really interesting story.
so of course, after meeting the circus performers (as you do) we decided to go for a drink and a dance. and man alive did we dance! they were playing such funky beats, songs that I haven't heard in years, and therefore I haven't danced like that in years. I had my flats on and there was no stopping me. we danced until two am before deciding to try to find a milonga...
at the milonga there were just four couples on the huge dancefloor. it felt like a scene in a movie... the couples dancing, whilst the barman clears away tables around them and starts to turn on the lights. but the music keeps playing, so the dancers just keep dancing, entranced in their private moments.
it was such a cool night, thank you.
