Company Event – Kooza! 
The newest instalment of world-famous circus series, Cirque Du Soleil, returns with the clown-inspired Kooza. Featuring an international cast of 50 acrobats, musicians, actors and singers, the show tells the story of ‘The Innocent’, who goes on a self-discovery trip and meets eccentric characters and experiences countless thrills along the way. And the soul and spirit behind our brand Ximula is elated that our company had organised this outing for all staff and their family.
闻名世界的马戏团-太阳马戏团，带着他们最新的一期大马戏-Kooza，一个以滑稽的小丑为主题的大马戏，回归到大家面前了。这场大马戏由50名国际演员主演，涵盖杂技演员、乐师演员和歌手，演出讲述的是一个“天真的人”的故事。 “天真的人”进行了自我探索之旅，一路上遇到了很多古怪的人物和经历了很多令人兴奋的事情。带着喜慕乐品牌背后的灵魂和精神，我们很高兴，能为所有员工及其家人组织了这次外出活动。
It was a nice Saturday afternoon and all staff and their family were looking forward to the show. And our foreign production workers had dressed well for this outing. We had all arrived early and gather for some photo taking to remember this special outing. Everyone is very excited as for most of us this is our very first circles show. Some of our staff had gone online to “research” on this circus, but this only caused them to be even more excited about the show.
这是一个愉快的周六下午，所有的员工及其家人都很期待着这场表演。我们的外籍生产工人为这次活动脱下了平时的工作服换上了漂亮的服装，帅气十足。我们全部都提前到达并集合到一起，拍下照片，记录下这次特别的外出活动。大家都很兴奋，因为我们当中大多数人是第一次看大马戏。我们一些员工都已经上网了解这马戏团的趣事，但这只会使他们对这场马戏产生更高的兴致。
After some photo taking, all of us started to enter the circus arena where we can buy some food and drinks for the show. Upon entering the seating area we were taken aback by the design of the circus stages. There were four main pillars with intricate design holding up the gigantic tent. The stars were projected on the tent and it make it look like the night sky.
拍了照后，我们所有人带上了零食和饮料开始入场。进入观众席后，我们都被马戏团的舞台设计吓倒了。四根主立柱通过错综复杂的设计，将整个大帐蓬支撑起来。再把有星星设计的灯光投射在帐篷上，使它看起来像个夜空。
As all of us get seated, the show had started! The first act is the Charivari in which we sees the house troupe creating human towers, and using other circus apparatus such as a Chinese pole.
所有人坐好后，节目开始了！第一个节目是Charivari。在这里，我们看到了杂技演员使用了诸如中国杆的其他马戏团装置搭起了人造塔。
And then a trio use balance, strength and flexibility in this jaw dropping feat of contortion. Their moves are so unbelievable and yet so graceful. Everyone was in silence as we all focus on their performance.
第二个表演是由三个人联合表演的，通过平衡力、力量和柔韧性做出各种高度扭曲的动作。他们的表演是如此令人难以置信，而且如此优雅。每个人都静静地沉浸在观看这场表演当中。
Next up was a lone performer performs with an aerial hoop. Her performance was breath taking with her very dangerous moves while maintaining an elegant composure.
接下来的表演是一位表演者与空中箍的独奏。她的优雅而高难度动作表演是如此的让人紧张以致难以呼吸。
Following up we saw a couple waltz on a unicycle, the woman balances on top of the man while he simultaneously rides the unicycle. Their skill level is so high, they make it seems like they are floating in air dancing around.
随后，我们看到一对男女在独轮车上表演华尔兹，男士在骑独轮车的同时将女士平衡地托起在头部以上的位置。他们的技术水平如此之高，有如浮在空中跳舞一样。
Then the act get more dangerous with a quartet walk a high wire using props such as bicycles, a chair and even fencing swords. Every moment when they are so high up there we were so worried for them.
接下来的表演更加的惊险绝伦。如在高空钢丝上骑自行车，坐椅子甚至是做剑击等。每一个动作都让我们感到十分害怕。
Right after the high wire act, it get even more dangerous for two guys. Arguably the most dangerous act in the show, it involves a pendulum with two hamster wheel like walkways at each end. On these walkways two performers jump, leap and skip rope inside and even outside the wheel.
在高空钢丝表演之后，接下来的表演变得更加危险了！这可能是马戏团最危险的表演，两位杂技演员在一个有两大圈的巨大钟摆的两端上表演他们的杂技。这两位杂技演员在圈内甚至圈外，表演跳跃，翻筋斗，跳绳等动作。
After all the high tensions, the act tone down for us to rest our heart and enjoy a great show of dexterity by a beautiful woman. A high caliber hoops act, Irina Akimova weaves spinning hoops around her body. Then a guy came on stage and started a large stack of chairs that tower on the stage who performs a balancing act at the top of the pile.
在高度紧张之后，接下来的表演变得温和了一些，让我们享受一位美女的灵巧表演。伊琳娜·阿基莫娃（Irina Akimova）献上了高标准的呼啦圈表演。然后，一个男演员用椅子排成塔，在塔上表演平衡动作。
The final act in the show is performed by the house troupe. In this act a performer stands on one end of the teeter board until they are sent flying up by two performers who land on the opposite end. The performer somersaults and lands onto a mat or a tower of people, sometimes the performer even wears stilts.
来到了大马戏最后的表演了！是由全体马戏团成员共同演出的。演员们站在跷跷板的一端，而两位演员会站在另外一段，跳上跷跷板将对面的演员弹上高空。演员在天上翻筋斗再落在垫子或人造塔上，有时演员甚至穿高跷翻筋斗！
Personally I like this act the most as it is a great display of team spirit. I guess their team spirit is very strong as they had travel around the world performing together. Their moves are so coordinated and everyone knows what they have to do next and at the right timing and positions. There was once when one of their team mate had a failed attempt as she missed the mark and started falling. I was so worried as I watch her fall, but I had worried for nothing as her team mates were already in position to catch her. After she was safely in their arms and on the ground, the first thing the rest did was gathered and checked on her. This is a very touching moment as everyone in the audience applauses and the show went on with a spectacular finishing in which one of the performer somersaults and lands onto a thick mattress wearing a single stilts.
我个人最喜欢这个项目，因为它展示了马戏团的团队精神。我想他们的团队精神一定非常强大，因为他们一起到了世界各地巡回表演。他们的举动如此协调，每个人都知道他们下一步要做什么，在正确的位置和时间上出现。其中有一次他们中的队员失手了，因为她落点失误而跌到。看着她跌倒时，我很担心。但我的担心很快变成了安心。当她在跌倒时，队友已经准备好抓住她了。在队友怀里后，大家马上确定她没事才继续表演。每位观众都为这非常感人的一幕鼓掌了。节目来到尾段，表演者穿着单一的高跷在跷跷板上翻筋斗！
Our staff and their family really enjoy the show and not a single one of us left the circus tent without a smile on our faces. Thank you Zhaplin, Thank you XIMULA for the sponsoring of this outing!!!
我们的员工和家人真的很喜欢这个节目，每个人都面带笑容地离开马戏团。感谢Zhaplin 和 XIMULA为大家提供了这样一个外出活动！！！
