Cirque du Soleil: Saltimbanco
Columbia Tri-Star/Sony - Télémajik
Saltimbanco is a celebration of life where an international troupe of more than
fifty performers ranging from 8 to 45 years of age defy gravity and dazzle with their
artistry. A panoply of acts in which top-notch acrobatics are executed with masterly
beauty--handbalancing, double trapeze, double tightrope, Chinese poles, the Russian
Swing, bungees, jugglers and clowns. Created in 1994 as an antidote to the violence and
despair typical of the 20th century, this phantasmagorical show proposes a new vision
of urbanity, overflowing with optimism and happiness. Saltimbanco is not linear;
rather, it is a kaleidoscope, an adventure in which anything can happen. Saltimbanco
has its own language - a soul expressed through the voice, the body and music. [Back Cover]
