Cirque du Soleil's "Quidam"
an imaginary world of wonder
In the Quidam, Young Zoé is bored; her parents, distant and apathetic, ignore her. Her life has lost all meaning. Seeking to fill the void of her existence, she slides into an imaginary world where she meets characters who encourage her to free her soul.
The international cast features 52 world-class acrobats, musicians, singers and characters. Unlike any other Cirque du Soleil show, Quidam does not take spectators to an imaginary realm of fanciful, larger-than-life characters. Rather, it is an examination of our own world – inhabited by real people with real-life concerns.
Benoit Jutras’ passionate and intense music is performed live at every show by six musicians playing a wide variety of instruments such as the violin, cello, percussions, saxophone, electric and classical guitars and keyboard. In Quidam, Cirque du Soleil takes a new approach to vocals. For the first time, the fragility of a childlike voice combines with the strength of a man’s voice to create a powerful blend of sensitivity and intensity.
Evoking a monolithic structure like a
train station or an airport where people constantly come and go, the minimalist
set is dominated by a giant arch. The floor, built from perforated metal
tiles, is illuminated from above and below and appears at times metallic,
at times incandescent.
