So you think you've got a lot of luggage to cart around this summer vacation? Imagine the burden of the Cirque du Soleil crew, who bring the wondrous Saltimbanco to the St. Pete Times Forum June 25-July 5. I spoke with Adam Miller, the show's artistic director, during the company's earlier visit to the Tampa Bay area this spring at the Lakeland Center. He doesn't have to do any of the lugging around of stuff himself — he has people for that — but he did have some interesting things to say about Saltimbanco's "urban" theme and how he explores a city when he's touring with a show. Video after the jump.
