 Cirque Du Soleil: Dralion - Movie Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
Cirque du Soleil is back with this direct-to-video production, Dralion, 89 minutes of jumping, flying, dancing, and wordless gags that will leave you either breathless or, in my case, fumbling for a vial of Tylenol.
For comic relief, "clowns" will come out and goof around -- the best part of the video being a short, bald man who picks someone out of the crowd to use as an unwitting ally in his own stunts (though later the "audience member" turns out to be a Cirque troupe performer).
Alas, the problem with Dralion is not in its action, it's with its filmmaking.

As Dralion was in residence under the familiar blue and yellow tent in Toronto—just weeks away from its U.S. debut in Santa Monica, Calif.—Roland Users Group dropped in to see the show and talk with the two men behind the music of Dralion, bandleader/keyboardist Richard Oberacker and keyboardist Stephen Poulin.
Although the composer, musicians, instrumentation and style are all completely new for Dralion, the method of producing the music, which relies heavily on Roland’s XP-80 Music Workstation and its Realtime Phrase Sequencing (RPS), remains the same, having been perfected by Claude over many years.
Dralion will be Richard and Stephen’s full-time career until at least 2001, by which time they will have played to audiences in 17 cities across Canada and the United States.

Among the feats of daring are acrobatics involving ballet on lights, hoop diving, bamboo poles, juggling, teeterboard, double trapeze and skipping ropes.
Dralion, a combination of the words dragon and lion, was chosen as the show's title because of the power the animals represent, both for the Asian world, where the dragon was the emperor's animal, and the occidental, where the lion is represented on many national and royal crests, including Great Britain's.

The Chinese consider the lion a symbol of good luck, so it's a half-dragon, half-lion--a dralion--that is the symbol of the East-meets-West fusion of this Cirque du Soleil show, in which 36 Chinese acrobats join the renowned Canadian troupe.
Dralion is not only well edited, but is an amazing show, and is easily worthy of six stars were that an option.
The overall tone of "Dralion" is a little darker punctuated by some suberb individual acts that do indeed light up the audience.
