    Zark show today

    Turns out the Zarkana wasn't as good as the other one I saw here at Randall's Island, the Kooza.
    It seems almost as if the Zark was made as a training ground for new performers. The acrobatics and stunts they performed weren't as exciting as Kooza's. Perhaps it was because they had limited space on the stage at Radio City?
    The backdrops and lighting were excellent. The music was only mediocre, nothing too memorable or outstanding.

    One of the main act was some guy wearing loosey goosey frilly white coverings being very bendy on a white circle with a spotlight over him. He kept twisting around and around almost breakdancing but in a ballet-y kind of way. It was good but not like the Kooza one where this guy kept going higher and higher and balancing himself on a bunch of chairs and then doing a handstand on top with only one hand.
