Saltimbanco was my first Cirque du Soleil, and it remains one of my all-time favorites among the many shows.

Ok, so I saw this show April 11 in Nashville and I was so lucky to get to actually be the participant in the gunshow part. I have always dreamed of being the audience member who got to go up and I lucked out when the first guy he picked didn't want to and then he tried to get my father and both my parents, and the random friend that was sitting behind me pointed at me. I am sad though that there are no pictures or video of it. It was so much fun!

[bcueflores]

I like how he went "rawr~". XD

[madcelt1]

why did he pick the tallest guy?

Strongest enemy

[ChildofThranduil]

do they always pick one person to do all the audience participations for one show?

[chispilore]

i went on 2006 and they picked a person on the audiencie, but i'm not sure if he was a real person, you know, 'cause the guy looks like he knows everything

[ritsfata]

normally they have one actor planted in the audience and another real audience member brought up.

[ChildofThranduil]

I figured that was the case... (watching the Dralion film...)

[fleurlotus]

You are both Right and you are both... mistaken. In Saltimbanco the audience member is a different person in every show... in Dralion, as you have seen it is obviously a "plant", The role of the audience member was performed initially by a very talented actor who's name is "guto".

Saltimbanco is unique in that the number is searching to find complicity with the guest, to open a true dialogue of play. Each night I had to adjust and find a contra rhythm to the individuals sensibilities.

How many times the selection went "wrong"?
