It is a rarity that a video has me awestruck after watching it for the first time. The only other video that did that to me was Riverdance. Cirque Ingenieux is one of those experiences that is satisfying on so many levels. The artistry of the performers, both musical and acrobatic, is outstanding. Colleen Ryan (The Angel) sings with an etherial yet powerful tone that sets Kitaro's work wonderfully. The dreamlike setting makes for a sometimes chilling backdrop to the performers that do feats that you would swear no human can do. The two asian contortionists who stretch their bodies in incredible shapes and directions. The two strongmen that perform an act so mindboggling, I had to rewind several times and see it again. Jugglers, acrobats, mimes, and other street performers fill out a video that is as visually stunning as musically beautiful

Very good souvenir from an spectacle seen 10 years ago !.
It is a mixture of dance, acrobatics, magic, black theater and clowns. The score music is wnderful. It would be more interesting to have this program in DVD version. The nearest spectacle to this kind of "Cirque Ingenieux" is le cirque du soleil.

This is definitely for Cirque du Soleil lovers, like me. The performance is lovely and amazing and well worth watching and marveling at.

Kitaro's hypnotic music combines with the colors, costumes, contortions,accrobatics and story! The sight and sound dance together as one in kitaro's incredible mix of new age,classic, jazz and rock. It created a trancelike emotional effect that left my entire family mesmirized and enchanted!
It is no longer possible (to my knowledge) to see the show live. While out of print this wonderful experience is still available in vhs format,if you can find one!

I have watched it and found that it is not as good as some of the newer Cirque du Soleil movies, such as Dralion. It is sort of weird at the end. It has strange music which I didn't like personally, but you may find it enjoyable. I would have rated it 2 1/2 but you couldn't do that.

This video will bring out the imagination and child in all of us. It will intrigue and fascinate you with excellent music, backgrounds, and sometimes purely-amazing acrobatics. An excellent tool to introduce the Arts and Drama community to your child; content is clean and circus-like. Worth the money spent to broaden the imagination of anyone which this video has the potential to accomplish.
