Agreed. I went to a show on their very first U.S. tour and it was quite good. Really good aerialists and contortionists. The fact that they deliver everything in a kind of gibberish, "Cirque-speak" can get a little annoying at times, but lends to the surreal quality. Hopefully they still use a live band, because that was a great feature.
