IL Circo, quello con la 'C' maiuscola, quello che non usa animali, quello che stupisce per la bravura e l'incredibile preparazione degli artisti/atleti. Quello che crea un'atmosfera così affascinante da lasciare una traccia i tutti coloro che anche adulti si lasciano incantare come bambini. LE CIRQUE DU SOLEIL è tutto questo e molto altro ancora. Ed è con grande anticipazione che dopo il debutto londinese, arriva per la prima volta in Italia KURIOS A CABINET OF CURIOSITY, spettacolo in tour mondiale dal 2014 e trentacinquesimo spettacolo prodotto dalla compagnia canadese.

Energetic, urban and contemporary, Cirque du Soleil's VOLTA, written and directed by Bastien Alexandre, with Jean Guibert as the director of creation, is a captivating voyage of discovery that showcases never-before-seen under the Big Top acrobatics in a visually striking world. Driven by a stirring melodic score and inspired in part by the adventurous spirit that fuels the culture of street sports, VOLTA is a story of transformation, being true to oneself, fulfilling one's true potential, and recognizing one's own power to make it possible. The production is perhaps the most acrobatic show ever staged by Cirque du Soleil, with acts from around the world offering amazing displays of roller skating, balance, trampoline leaps through windows to rooftop, Double Dutch rope skipping, tumbling, rings, and BMX bicycle flips that challenge gravity.
