Cirque du Soleil: Saltimbanco

From 07 July 2010 to 18 July 2010

Cirque du Soleil hardly need any introduction. The now world famous troupe was originally the brain-child of a collective of innovative street performers in Quebec during the mid-1980's. It almost immediately became legendary, and has today entertained more than 80 million people.

The opulent Cirque du Soleil are bringing their Saltimbanco to the o2 this July, a signature performance which explores the idiosyncratic urban experience through a panoply of memorable, vibrant characters.

Internationally recognised for their effervescent spectacles, Cirque du Soleil combine absolutely superb, polished acrobatics and dance with eclectic music which draws upon a diverse mix of urban culture, language, and character to produce a highly evocative baroque world.
