Cirque du Soleil presents Varekai

Coming to Phoenix 2/18-2/22

January 26, 2015

VAREKAI DESCENDS FROM THE SKY AND INTO THE US AIRWAYS CENTER! A CIRQUE DU SOLEIL PRODUCTION

Seven Performances from February 18-22

A dormant volcano, a mystical forest and an ancient prophecy... The adventure of Icarus begins.

Deep within a forest, at the summit of a volcano, exists an extraordinary world-a world where something is possible. A world called Varekai.

The sky lets go a solitary young man, and the story of Varekaibegins. Parachuted into the shadows of a magical forest, a kaleidoscopic world imbued with fantastical creatures, a young man takes flight in an adventure both absurd and extraordinary. On this day at the edge of time, in this place of pure and undiluted possibility, begins an inspired incantation to a life rediscovered and to a newly found wonder in the mysteries of the world and the mind. 

The word Varekai (pronounced ver·ay·’kie) means “wherever” in the Romany language of the gypsies the universal wanderers.  Directed by Dominic Champagne, this production pays tribute to the nomadic soul, to the spirit and art of the circus tradition, and to those who quest with infinite passion along the path that leads to Varekai.
