Cirque Dreams Comes to Butler’s Clowes Hall

During college I first became familiar with Cirque Du Soleil I was instantly intrigued by their productions and imagination. I had spent lots of time in theater focusing on lighting and stagecraft. At one point I stumbled across an open call for lighting help for one of Cirque’s world touring company productions. Regretfully, I finally got a letter letting me know they had filled the position months earlier and apologized for the ad still running in the paper I saw.

With all that admiration, I’ve yet to make it to one of their shows, but now I have a chance to see them as they’ll arrive in Indianapolis later this month.

In the ongoing tradition of spectacular touring productions, Neil Goldberg and Cirque Productions have once again reinvented the circus with European flair, imaginative theatrics and world-class acrobatics. CIRQUE DREAMS Jungle Fantasy is an all-new adventure that takes audiences soaring into a magical forest through the air and on stage. An international cast of graceful aerialists, spine bending contortionists, vine swinging characters, strong men and balancers bring this jungle dream to life in a lush, Broadway setting filled with wildly unpredictable designs, special effects, inventive choreography, puppeteering and dazzling costumes. CIRQUE DREAMS Jungle Fantasy is an exhilarating journey the entire family can experience together.

Have you seen Cirque Du Soleil perform? What did you think?
