THE one and only Cirque du Soleil has announced the first-ever UK arena tour of its signature production, Varekai.
The critically-acclaimed show, updated and featuring new acts yet to be seen in the UK, will be coming to the Genting Arena in Birmingham next year.
Deep within a forest, at the summit of a volcano, exists an extraordinary world – a world where something else is possible.
A world called Varekai.
The sky lets go a solitary young man, and the story of Varekai begins.
Parachuted into the shadows of a magical forest, a kaleidoscopic world imbued with fantastical creatures, a young man takes flight in an adventure both absurd and extraordinary. On this day at the edge of time, in this place of pure and undiluted possibility, begins an inspired incantation to a life rediscovered and to a newly found wonder in the mysteries of the world and the mind.
The show runs from March 1 to 5 next year.
