[01] 'Cirque du Soleil' returns to Greece with new production in September
ANA-MPA -- The Cirque du Soleil is returning to Greece with a new
production in September, following the "Alegria" and "Dralion"
performances here, on the occasion of the 30th anniversary from the
founding of the famous spectacle.
Called "Quidam", the Cirque's new production is coming to Greece
in September for 19 performances in Athens and, for the first time,
in Thessaloniki.
At a press conference by the Quebec-based company, Canadian Ambassador
Robert Peck, who has supported the last three appearances of the Cirque
du Soleil in Greece, said that like all of the group's performances,
"Quidam" is full of humour, surprises and unforeseen events. It is,
however, a commentary on our present society as well. Despite the
difficult moments that Greece is facing, it is very important for us to
support culture and the arts and we must show that things are continuing
to take place in the country even during a crisis. This is the message
for performances such as these".
In Athens, the performances will be taking place at the indoor Olympic
Stadium (OAKA) on September 20-28 and in Thessaloniki at the PAOK Sports
Arena on September 30-October 5.
Sales start on Thursday, May 15, at the Germanos electronics stores and
at the website of Lavris cultural agency, for 28-35 euros. Special prices
will be provided for groups also.
