Cirque du Soleil to premiere new show in Moscow TAGS: Art, Show, Russia, Circus Legendary Canadian circus company Cirque du Soleil has brought its new show Saltimbanco to Moscow. Thursday will see the premiere of the program, which will be running at the capital’s Luzhniki Arena through November 13.
After Moscow, the show will move to St. Petersburg and then to Kiev, for the first ever appearance of the world-famous circus company in Ukraine.
Cirque du Soleil’s visits to the capital have already become a beloved tradition. Muscovites had the chance to enjoy the shows Varekai in 2009, and Corteo in 2010.
Saltimbanco, which celebrates the company’s 20th anniversary, is another beautiful performance, fusing the huge work and outstanding talent of the team to amuse the audience and bring the fairy-tale spirit into the old building of the Arena.
Saltimbanco show is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year
The first show, Varekai was a completely new experience for Moscow. It stunned the audience with sophisticated acts, acrobatics and humor, while the second, Corteo, was a magical drama performance, sensual and gentle. Saltimbanco does not aim to beat the previous two. Its charm lies in its simplicity. It offers a chance to take a sneak peek at the history of the legendary Cirque du Soleil.
The history of the company and circus as a whole goes back to street performing, where actors often involve the audience. Saltimbanco is exactly that kind of show. Prepare to find yourself onstage, or get tapped on the shoulder by one of the actors from behind.
Stunning acrobatics, the trademark of the circus company, are also there, along with captivating dance and music.
Based in Montreal, Canada, Cirque du Soleil was founded by Guy Laliberte in 1984. The company today employs over 5000 people, which allows it to give several stunning performances in different parts of the world, at the same time.
