VAREKAI ( pronounced ver-ay- ‘ kie ). In the Romany language of the gypsies , it means “ wherever ”. This production was written and directed by Dominic Champagne . It pays tribute to the wandering soul , to the spirit and art of the circus tradition . VAREKAI has an international cast of more than 50 artists representing 13 countries , including Australia , Canada , China , France , Georgia , Italy , Mexico , Russia , Spain , Ukraine , the United Kingdom , the United States and Yugoslavia .
Cirque Du Soleil began from a group of twenty street performers in 1984 . It has grown to become a major Quebec-based organization providing entertainment with about 3,000 employees from over 40 countries with more than 700 artists .
Attending a Cirque Du Soleil performance is a MUST ! It is a presentation like no other . Plenty of vivid choreography , displays of skill and power set against innovative music , a mixture of drama and acrobatics with remarkable vibrant costumes .
Cirque Du Soleil has added an additional 14 shows due to the overwhelming demand . I strongly suggest you wait no longer and purchase tickets ASAP ! Tickets range from $ 35.00 to $ 70.00 ; there are special discounts for senior citizens , students and children . You can purchase tickets by calling the Admission Network at 1-800-678-5440 or at cirquedusoleil . com .
