“Clear your mind, recognize the principles of being, and feel yourself being
transported into a fantastical world of surreality. Allow a visionary journey to
begin where the child within you is reborn, setting free the wonder and amazement
of your own imagination. Feast on this imaginative vision. Experience the reality
of what you see on stage but remember reality is only what you think you see.
This mystifying adventure is nothing more than an allegory which tells the tale
of one man’s search for love and meaning as he attempts to decipher his existence
within the multifaceted vortex of reality and illusion. Immerse yourself in a
metaphysical dreamlike state where dancing rabbits and similar oddities are the
norm. Magic is now reborn. Prepare yourself for an intimate celebration of art
forms bleeding together to create a virtual landscape of illusion, song, dance
movement and mysticism. All pre-conceived notions of truth and existence be
left at the door. What you’re seeing may not be real.
Don’t believe your eyes.
Welcome to CRISS ANGEL Believe.”
Criss Angel BELIEVE is a haunting exploration deep inside the inventive mind
of mystifier Criss Angel as he hovers between the land of the living and a surreal world
uniquely woven together by the distinctive imaginations of Criss Angel and Cirque du Soleil.
Unlike traditional magic-themed shows, Criss Angel BELIEVE transcends any preconceived
notion of what it means to be truly emotionally engaged by the arts of mysticism and
illusion. Imagine a fantasy, an allegory, a highly theatrical tableau of mood, reverie
and emotion set against a backdrop of dreamlike darkness and light.
Criss Angel stars as a surreal, enigmatic Victorian Noble. Along a path of imaginative
exploration, he encounters Kayala and Crimson, two women who represent different aspects
of femininity, four bizarre Ushers, who will introduce the audience to the baroque theater
of Criss’s mind and a high-energy troupe of characters and dancers who mix a multitude of styles
into a high-energy visual feast, punctuated by moments of grace and sensuality.
The stunning illusions in Criss Angel BELIEVE are not presented as stand-alone elements,
but as interdependent components using heightened imagery, fantastical creatures and impossible
feats of legerdemain, which are integrated into the dazzling, colorful fabric of the story.
