Last week I had the opportunity to attend Opening Night of Cirque du Soleil’s Totem under Grand Chapiteau at the Del Mar Fairgrounds. I love Cirque du Soleil and Totem lived up to my expectations. It was a delight for the eyes.  The show is inspired by the evolution of man and explores the progress of humankind.

I don’t know what it is about the Del Mar fairgrounds but this is the second time I’ve watched a Cirque du Soleil show there and it was a magical experience. There is something about watching a Cirque du Soleil Show under a tent and near the beautiful Pacific Ocean that is unlike anything else.  The show featured some amazing acts and the live music was breathtakingly beautiful.

The show featured aerialists, a  trapeze duo, a super quirky and fun unicycle and bowl act that was definitely one of the highlights. There were many amazing acts in the show but if I had to choose one or two it would be an amazing roller skating duo that had a gravity defying act that wowed the crowd. It was like nothing I had ever seen before. There was also a metal perch act that had us all the edge of the seats. Totem is really something that has to be experienced with your own eyes. It is an amazing show.

Cirque du Soleil Totem will play at the Del Mar Fairgrounds until May 27th. You can learn more about this spectacular show or purchase your tickets by heading here. If you are still looking for a gift for Mother’s Day or if you would like a special Mother’s Day treat this would be it.

Disclosure: This is not a compensated post. I did receive complementary tickets to aid in the review of the show.
