Cirque Du Soleil – Varekai, an extraordinary traveling show written and directed by Dominic Champagne, is coming to Ülker Sports Arena from Wednesday 5 through Sunday 9 October. Tickets begin at 79 TL and are available via TixBox.
From the official press kit:
Varekai is a critically-acclaimed production that has wowed almost 10 million people worldwide since it first premiered in Montreal in 2002. Since then, Varekai has visited more than 130 cities in 23 different countries around the world.
Deep within a forest, at the summit of a volcano, exists an extraordinary world where something else is possible. A world called Varekai.
The sky lets go a solitary young man, and the story of Varekai begins. Parachuted into the shadows of a magical forest, a kaleidoscopic world imbued with fantastical creatures, a young man takes flight in an adventure both absurd and extraordinary. On this day at the edge of time, in this place of pure and undiluted possibility, begins an inspired incantation to a life rediscovered and to a newly found wonder in the mysteries of the world and the mind.
The word Varekai (pronounced ver·ay·’kie) means “wherever” in the Romany language of the gypsies—the universal wanderers. Written and directed by Dominic Champagne, this production pays tribute to the nomadic soul, to the spirit and art of the circus tradition, and to those who quest with infinite passion along the path that leads to Varekai.
Varekai emerges from an explosive fusion of drama and acrobatics. The impossible becomes possible in stunning displays of skill and power set against innovative music and otherworldly sets, interwoven with vivid choreography that speaks to all in the universal language of movement. The pendulum of time sweeps backward, paying tribute to the ancient and rare circus tradition of Georgian Dance and then catapults to the future with revolutionary twists on acts such as Russian Swings and Slippery Surface.
Varekai features an international cast of 50 performers and musicians from 19 different countries.
