Cirque Du Soleil - Quidam

Critically celebrated entertainment group Cirque Du Soleil is to stage the breathtaking production Quidam at The NIA, Birmingham on 18 to 22 March, 2009.

Directed by the unique and inspirational Franco Dragone, Quidam has toured the world for the past 13 years to wide-spread acclaim and has enjoyed sell-out success across the world in Europe, the US, Australia, Japan, Canada and New Zealand, performing to over 8 million fans.

The show follows the sell-out success of Delirium which toured The NIA last year. In contrast to Delirium which was a multimedia musical production, Quidam is classic Cirque du Soleil at its very best – usually presented under the big top setting and now for the first time ever in an arena. The NIA will be transformed into an intimate performing space, drawing in the audience in a way more reminiscent of Cirque du Soleil's traditional grand chapiteau tent.

With more than 50 performers from 14 countries, Quidam is fêted for bringing the impossible to life. The show is a thrilling combination of gravity defying acrobats, awe-inspiring aerial acts, contortionists, rope-jumpers, a balancing duo and of course the acclaimed crazy clowns.

Technical expertise and extravagant design are woven together by a dramatic emotional thread where hope and beauty come to life.

Tickets are priced at £50 plus booking and transaction fees.
