Cirque du Soleil fans, remains the best of
the bunch. Mystere perfectly showcases the unique mix of avant-garde
performance art and incredible acrobatics that made Cirque du Soleil so
famous, and audiences pack the seats at Treasure Island Mystere Theater
night after night! Mystere is divided into 9 very unique acts, each with
its own memorable characters. Costumes and makeup play a big role in
creating the world of Mystere. The bright feathers of the fire birds,
outlandish pink suit of the emcee no one listens to, and backward masks
of the Chinese pole climbers help bring these (and many other)
characters to life.
Mystere's incredibly talented cast will take your breath away with their
astonishing displays of strength, flexibility, and balance. The aerial
high bar act features an ensemble of world-class gymnasts who
effortlessly fly and spin 40 feet above the stage. The trampoline and
Korean plank performers move with astonishing speed and grace, and the
cube master appears to defy gravity during his unique act. A definite
highlight is the bungee trapeze artists, who move with such grace and
unison for people tethered to elastic bands. Just because it's artsy
doesn't mean Mystere isn't funny, too. The pesky clowns and over-grown
baby will have you rolling in the aisles with laughter.
The music of Mystere is also quite enjoyable. A eclectic group of
musicians and singers provide the show's soundtrack. Rock and roll,
funk, and African tribal beats contribute in setting the mood for
different acts, and the big bangs of the giant Taiko drum are essential
in opening and closing the show.
Evening performances are at 7 PM or 9:30 PM, and there is a Sunday
matinée at 4:30 PM. Thursdays and Fridays the Mystere cast take a
well-deserved break, and there are no shows.
Whether you're a seasoned Cirque du Soleil ticket buyer or this is your
very first time, you're sure to fall in love with Mystere.
