Technology, a circus, and the imagination

This video amazes me. I love the fact that all this advanced stage work and mechanical manipulations still requires the human element in order to come to life.

This is one of those shows I definitely need to see at some point. I like how they approach these huge technical issues dream-first…basically saying, “This is what we dream of happening and showing to the audience,” and they don’t restrict their visions. Then they take it to the next step and ask, “Can what we envision be done (without breaking the laws of physics of course)?”

Take a look. Storytelling in so many dimensions at once.

I see that smile.

    Too amazing for words. And we attempt to do the very same–just on paper.

    True. Except we aren’t bound by anything but the technologies we create within our stories. Even the laws of physics don’t necessarily apply.
