REHEARS

Hello everybody,

Please, do not come to see the show this week we are going to be horrible. We are rehearsing everyday and I tell you it is very tiring. We are having fun at least I am having fun and I can see that my colleges are having fun too. I think I will like to have a little bit of social life but there is no chance.

The only social life I get is with my wife at night, she sleeps and I snore.

I want to say something about rehearsing because we have a lot of rehearsals here at Zumanity. We are repeating things many times for no apparent reason. At least I do not understand why. When we are rehearsing I know all the time where we are trying to go and why are we doing what we are doing. I fell that what I am doing is bringing something to the show and I am going to help the show at my fellow performers but here everything is so vast and seems really far. And I think I know why, they do not have the time or better they do not find the time to explain the performers the story the reasons why we do what we do so we can create something that we fell is wonderful and we can get a reward.

We as artists need to grow and there is only one way and one place. The way is doing what we do our art and where? It is on the stage.

Let my tell you my dear cirque du soleil you are great and you have grow really big but you are forgetting what is all about. Yes, make money it is a very important thing but try not to forget that what made you rich was the art. The art of circus, it is not my favourite art in the world. I honestly think is boring.

But dear Cirque keep up the good work and try to change just these little things that I have told you and you will notice the difference immediately. People around you will be much more happy and they will be ready to work harder and better.

Have fun.
