Critically celebrated entertainment group Cirque Du Soleil is to stage a UK arena tour of the breathtaking production Quidam. This spellbinding masterpiece hits the UK for the first time with a series of exclusive shows.
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. America’s TIME Magazine says “Beyond Circus, beyond theatre…makes the incredible visible” whilst Australia’s The Age is equal in its praise stating “We are surely seeing the world's best performers”.

In Quidam, the ensemble weaves a narrative of a young girl's adventures in an alternate universe into their surreal, death-defying performance. The show has a unique relevance for a big city audience with one of the key themes exploring the loneliness and isolation of the individual in a world where people are busy, rushing by, caught up in their own personal dramas.

Teresa Meriläinen, PR Manager at Cirque du Soleil, said: “We are thrilled to be bringing Quidam to cities across the UK. The show is a classic Cirque du Soleil masterpiece, known to be one of the most emotionally impactful shows in Cirques’s repertoire. It has great synergy with big cities because it’s all about the anonymity of life in a busy, bustling world.”
