It
was recently held at the Kuala Lumpur Performing Arts Center from 29 September
to 30 October 2017, a total of 4 performances. This production was presented by
one of Asia’s largest new circus troupes, Viva Circus, Psycusix and Creative
Event Solution (CES).
When
we hear the word “Circus”, we always think of circuses involving animals. Well,
new modern circus does not involve animals at all. Everything is performed by humans; e.g. aerial acts like hoop, silk, net, trapeze, strap, pole and flying pole.
I
was part of this production and we practiced weekdays and every weekend for a
month before the production. So what is the story of Cre all about?
Planet
V, 173 light years away. The Goddess Atanua brought light to the day and water
to nurture the land. She created a race of living beings, each with a purpose
of their own….
Except
for one – Cre
Cre
was born different from everyone else. He does not know his abilities, his destiny
or his identity. So Cre decides to embark on a journey of self-discovery.
Little did he know, a dark power was following closely behind….
We
were then brought to each Chapter of the performance, starting with:-
Chapter 1 – AIR (The
gateway of wonder that sculpts the eternal fates of all living beings. This is
where our story begins)
For
this chapter, it involves aerial silk. A flying silk performed by Miko and
rainbow group silks performed by my friends. The stage was so colourful for the
Air scene.

Chapter 2 – WATER
(The second realm. A world with a vast, unknown depth and many secrets)
Chapter 3 – EARTH (A
tranquil land where the guardians of the forest and the Spirit Tree reside.
Here, our hero seeks wisdom)
After
the 15 minute intermission, a spirit tree came out to the stage and there was a contortion artist, aerial hoop, strap and cube performance. There were also wheel, LED and acro
balance acts.
