As part of its 30th anniversary, and for the first time in its history, Cirque du Soleil will present a truly unique, exclusive music event celebrating 30 years of music. Music has always been a central character in Cirque du Soleil shows. It accompanies the artists, punctuates the performance and triggers emotions. The 75-minute concert will pay tribute to the music of Cirque du Soleil and will feature a choir of 70 voices (under the artistic direction of Gregory Charles) and 6 soloists accompanied by 28 musicians. The audience will hear singers Paul Bisson, Audrey Brisson-Jutras, Dominic Dagenais, Estelle Esse, Mathieu Lavoie, Anna Liani, Francine Poitras and Roxanne Potvin interpret some of the songs that have defined the music of Cirque du Soleil shows of the past 30 years.

В чаще леса, на вершине вулкана существует необычный мир — мир, где происходят самые удивительные вещи. Мир по имени Varekai. С небес слетает одинокий юноша… И начинается рассказ о Varekai. Очутившись среди теней волшебного леса, в калейдоскопе мира фантастических созданий и явлений, молодой человек начинает свое путешествие, полное приключений, невероятное и даже абсурдное. Именно в этот день, который расположился на краю времени, именно в этом месте, где возможно почти все, звучит ода жизни, которая позволяет по-новому открыть ее для себя. Слово «варекай» на языке цыган — этих бродяг, странствующих по всему миру — означает «где бы то ни было», «где угодно». Эта постановка посвящена духу кочевников, искусству и атмосфере цирка, его традициям, и неугасимой страсти тех, чья доля влечет их по пути, ведущему в Varekai.

The Chinese consider the lion a symbol of good luck, so it's a half-dragon, half-lion – a dralion – that is the symbol of the East-meets-West fusion of this performance in which 36 Chinese acrobats join the renowned Canadian troupe. Celebrating the four elements as represented in four colours – blue (air), green (water), red (fire) and ochre (earth) – Dralion combines ancient Chinese circus traditions with Cirque du Soleil's usual stunning elements: the techno-oriented single ring; the multicoloured lights and costumes; the music that mixes rock, New Age and various world influences (though not Chinese); and the madcap clowns that pull a victim out of the audience.

This film takes viewers through the rich, white majesty of the Inuit Great North. Along with doing justice to the breathtaking and awesome landscape of the freezing, snow-covered environment, Great North also looks into the long-standing traditions, such as fishing and hunting, of the Inuit tribes.
