In Totem, Cirque du Soleil investigates humankind’s evolution from the amphibian state to their dreams of flying. In a stunning, masterful vision that combines imagery, theatricality, music and refined acrobatics, Cirque du Soleil provides a show that captures our imaginations while mining the depths of our subconscious mythology.
Synopsis
Cirque du Soleil redefines our past, present and future in their latest show Totem. What do the symbols of our creation tell us, how do they define us and how can we investigate them to understand our history as creatures of this earth? Totem is a tale told through movement, imagery, music and pure theatricality, combing science, myth and the purity of motion.
