One Man's Opinion

Circus Vargas Thrills - Without the Animals

If you experience a sense of déjà vu while driving past the circus tent by Hacienda Drive, it's because you've likely seen the movie "Water for Elephants". Circus Vargas' elegant blue gold-accented tent, which recently appeared in a long-vacant lot near Hacienda Crossings, was featured in the film "Water for Elephants".
Unlike "Water for Elephants" fictitious circus - which shocked audiences with cruel treatment of circus animals - Circus Vargas decided in 2010 to completely eliminate animal acts. For our family that move was important. We've enjoyed Cirque du Soleil for many years - applauding the reinvention of a non-animal, artistic (yet still thrilling) circus. The downside of Cirque du Soleil is its success - attending a Cirque show in decent seats can cost a family of four several hundred dollars, and the balance of artistry/dance to thrills can make Cirque shows less appealing to younger children.READ MORE AT:http://dublin.patch.com/articles/circus-vargas-thrills-without-the-animals#c
