Cirque du Soleil's DRALION Comes to Long Beach Arena, Now thru 11/4

Cirque du Soleil has announced that Dralion will be performing in Long Beach from tonight, November 1 - 4 at Long Beach Arena for six performances only. Tickets are available at www.cirquedusoleil.com/dralion, www.ticketmaster.com, or by calling 1-800-745-3000.

Fusing the 3000 year-old tradition of Chinese acrobatic arts with the multidisciplinary approach of Cirque du Soleil, Dralion (pronounced “Dra-lee-on”) draws its inspiration from Eastern philosophy and its never-ending quest for harmony between humans and nature. The show’s name is derived from its two emblematic creatures: the dragon, symbolizing the East, and the lion, symbolizing the West.

In Dralion, the four elements that govern the natural order take on a human form. Thus embodied, each element is represented by its own evocative colour: air is blue; water is green; fire is red; earth is ochre. In the world of Dralion, cultures blend, Man and Nature are one, and balance is achieved.
