Cirque du Soleil is in town for just a few days with one of their newest productions, TORUK, the First Flight. This show is based on James Cameron’s movie Avatar and it is a visually stunning feast for the eyes! This family friendly performance is amazing….we went on a date night but I know that the kids would have LOVED this show. We are huge fans of the movie Avatar, so it was fascinating to see a different spin on the story Cirque-style. If you love the movie Avatar you really should try to see TORUK while it’s in town, but even if you have not seen the movie you will still enjoy this magical show. Going to see TORUK would be a great way to celebrate Mother’s Day this weekend!
TORUK ~
Cirque du Soleil’s newest touring show, TORUK – The First Flight, is inspired by James Cameron’s record-breaking movie AVATAR. TORUK – The First Flight will be at U.S. Bank Arena May 4-8, 2016, as part of a global tour presented by Visa Signature.
“TORUK – The First Flight is a completely different type of show for both Cirque du Soleil and entertainment as a whole,” said tour spokesperson Laura Silverman. “For Cirque du Soleil it is a lot of firsts – the first time presenting a show inspired by the movie, the first time having an English speaking narrator guide the audience, the first time incorporating puppeteers and large scale puppets as well as kites, and more!
“This is a great show for families! The story is easy to follow with the help of an English speaking narrator and it focuses on three young teenagers on a quest to save Pandora,” said Silverman. “Along with the colors, music, and spectacular visuals, it is a fantastic show for people of all ages! The puppets especially are always a hit amongst our youngest fans! They recognize them as being similar to animals they already know and the way the puppeteers bring the creatures to life is really inspiring.”
