Cirque du Soleil hits Qatar with Saltimbanco!

We are so excited to finally be coming to Doha!

The performance of Saltimbanco has so much meaning behind it...read on to find out a bit more about the production!

Saltimbanco -from the Italian "saltare in banco", which literally means "to jump on a bench"-explores the urban experience in all its myriad forms: the people who live there, their characteristics, families and groups, the hustle and bustle of the street and the towering heights of skyscrapers. Between whirlwind and lull, prowess and poetry, Saltimbanco takes spectators on an allegorical and acrobatic journey into the heart of the city.

Saltimbanco is a Cirque du Soleil signature show inspired by the urban fabric of the metropolis and its colorful inhabitants. Decidedly baroque in its visual vocabulary, the show's eclectic cast of characters draws spectators into a fanciful, dreamlike world, an imaginary city where diversity is a cause for hope.

We hope this first visit of Cirque du Soleil to Doha will be a memorable one for all!

The colorful, action-packed performance is scheduled to run from July 4th – 7th, 2012 at Aspire Dome in Doha. For ticketing information please visit us at Virgin Megastore Landmark and at Cirquedusoleil.qa
