Cirque du Soleil will be in Bilbao (Basque Country) on March 26th for the fourth time offering a "totally different" spectacle, according to Chantal Branchar, the touring publicist of the spectacle.
Cirque du Soleil will burst onto Bilbao's theatre scene in spring and will celebrate their 25th anniversary with the exciting show Varekai, at the Explanada de Botica Vieja. It will be in Bilbao from March 26th to April 19th bringing "fantastic creatures".
Unlike the three previous spectacles (Quidam, 2000, Saltimbanco 2003 and Dralion in 2005), Varekai has a "much more promising ending". "It is totally different for the rest. It is a much more promising spectacle, very colorist and the acrobatic level is superior to previous productions. Wardrobe design is completely different too", according to Chantal Blanchar, the touring publicist of the spectacle.
Since its premiere in Montreal, Varekai has been performed 2,400 times and seen by 5 millions people in the world.
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.
As www.cirquedusoleil.com explains, the word varekai means "wherever" in the Romany language of the gypsies the universal wanderers. This production pays tribute to the nomadic soul, to the spirit and art of the circus tradition, and to the infinite passion of those whose quest takes them along the path that leads to Varekai. It is based in an extraordinary world called Varekai, a world found deep within a forest at the summit of a volcano, where anything is possible.
