In
Cirque du SoleilBAZZAR, an eclectic lab of infinite
creativity where a joyful troupe of acrobats, dancers and musicians
craft an awe-inspiring spectacle. Led by their maestro, they
band together to invent a whimsical one-of-a-kind universe.
In a place where the unexpected is expected, the colorful group
imagines, builds and invents vibrant scenes in an artistic and
acrobatic game. This “bazaar” awaits one and all to claim their
spot in its marketplace of merriment and creative camaraderie.
People might just find that the end of the story is really only
the beginning! The high-energy excitement, collision of sounds
and colors, and meeting place of diverse characters you’d find
at a traditional “bazaar”, inspired the name of the show. BAZZAR
perfectly captures that spirit.
