Varekai

Written and directed by Dominique Champagne, this Cirque du Soleil production, which is full of fantastical creatures, pays homage to the nomad spirit, the soul and art of the circus tradition, and the endless passion of anyone seeking the path that leads to Varekai. 'Varekai' means 'wherever' in the language of those eternal nomads, the gypsies. It fuses dramatic art and acrobatics with the usual Cirque du Soleil quality as it tells an alternative ending to the Greek myth of Icarus, who flew too close to the sun in his wax wings.
