I wonder if Francisco and Sabu Alegria still perform in Ka, because I have seen them do this act twice.

saw it a month ago, same two guys doing wheel of death. Most of the actors are the same as far as i can tell with exception of the chief and the yellow tribesman (now tribeswoman)

What's always delighted me about this show and this scene in particular is that there's a narrative reason for the acrobatic trick. The Wheel of Death here isn't just a showy and risky set-piece; in-story, it's meant to be a machine, an industrial piece of equipment powered by slaves, so we're supposed to feel uncomfortable about watching it. The show 'OVO' (2000) had a similar storyline element in the form of a tower. CDS should do more narrative shows, it's better for audience engagement.

What music is playing? This IS NOT in the CD I purchased in the gift shop after the show.

The soundtrack on streaming platforms doesn't seem to have this cue either! Annoying, the electric guitar/industrial rock work in this score is the highlight imo.

Okeyyy.yy..- who´s bello Nock again?!? I don´t understand the triple-Thing. okey, aesthetic, maybe... but it only would make sence if they change the wheels while spinning or rihgt up.

The thing is supposed to be a bone grinder. Maybe one part needs more torque hence the need for 1 more slave
@keithpatrick1562 жыл бұрын
I assume it's mainly for aesthetics, but from a practical standpoint, it gives the act three different points to hand off the whips and jump ropes.

@@CatBot007 I saw it a few months ago, and it looked like a lot of the main performers were still the same (the Wheel pair certainly did, as did the main female clown(?)). The singers have changed up, though. FWIW, this part was probably the coolest part and just about identical to what's showing here.

This is an amazing show, directed by one of the most talented film directors in Quebec (Canada): Robert Lepage. Check out his movies. Also, when watching the show, remember that the acrobats are underpaid, work for very long hours very hard with few real advantages (two weeks of vacation per year).

I just saw this 5 days ago and the bartender was telling me the skipping guy is 60, and the other dude spinning it is his younger 50 year old brother. Apparently the 60 year old guy is trying to get his brother to take over, but his brother isn't that crazy. I guess when they were rehearsing before the show opened he fell and broke his back or something which delayed the shows opening by about 8 months. He knows if he falls he'll likely die, but it's doing something he loves.
