"Night falls at 5 p.m. The bitter air wriggles its way under scarves and jackets. It might not be winter in the Bay Area, but it's cold and dark, with hints of misery. Still, at SFGATE, we've long held that if you fill your life with music, art and a vibrant civic life, the cold air can never reach your heart."
"Thursday's San Francisco premiere of Cirque du Soleil Echo, the 20th Big Top show, blends spectacular vocals and cutting-edge technology - think dragonfly drones and a 3D-printed marionette that unfolds from a cube to stand 24 feet tall - with astounding acrobatics into something that taps into every pleasure center. The show is held at Mission Rock, just blocks from Oracle Park."
Night falls early in the Bay Area and cold, dark weather creeps into the streets, but music, art and civic life protect against the chill. Notable Bay Area cultural happenings include complaints about local breweries, a music collective performance at Gray Area and a San Francisco band's homecoming show. Cirque du Soleil Echo premieres in San Francisco as the 20th Big Top show, combining spectacular vocals, dragonfly drones, a 3D-printed marionette that unfolds to 24 feet and astounding acrobatics. The Mission Rock production near Oracle Park emphasizes visual spectacle—high-wire walkers, aerialists and teeterboard gymnastics—yielding a hypnotic, wordless experience.
