You are absolutely right as the actual "Saltimbanco" DVD is - IMHO - beneath contempt! Who wants to see close-ups of heads, while these artist are doing outstanding performances with their bodies? Why use obvious cuts in the middle of some sequences - crudely cross-faded, using the same camera angle? And last but not least: Why don't they tap the full potential by including those retired acts, thus generating a complete retrospective? What about the most famous and beautiful POKINOI act!?

Cirque really needs to release a new DVD of this show. Even this promotional video is better than the current DVD.
