For reasons that boggle my imagination and despite all of the creative geniuses behind Cirque, the videos that they make of their productions and market to PBS are complete crap. We've been in love with Cirque for over a decade now and never, ever watch any of their televised productions.
I don't know if it's because the video crews they hire suck (the videos are full of quick-cuts, lousy camera angles, and an insistence on focusing on the wrong parts of an act), the producers actually like these bad videos, or if it's just a matter of the thing that makes Cirque shows special is a "je ne sais quoi" that can only be captured by attending their shows in person and absorbing the entire experience.

But yeah, those shows are frakking expensive.
