|
Critically acclaimed show's first live music & multimedia event. Having sold out in 55 cities across Europe and USA, Cirque Du Soleil's Award winning show Delirium will transport its magic to The O2 arena on Friday 18th and Saturday 19th April 2008 for its only London dates. Following Cirque Du Soleil's previous successes, the critically acclaimed Delirium show, inspired by music and movement, fuses fantasy and realism together guaranteeing to awe, delight and dazzle fans. David Campbell, CEO of AEG Europe, owners and operators of The O2 said; "We are hugely delighted that the outstandingly successful Cirque du Soleil is bringing its extraordinarily creative new show, Delirium, to The O2 arena." The story of Delirium links to a thoroughly modern & urban experience: the quest for balance in a world that is increasingly out of sync. The show created and directed by Michel Lemieux and Victor Pilon, is inspired foremost by music and movement that interact with state of the art multi-media projection, and Cirque du Soleil's trademark, acrobatic and dance moments. In Delirium, Cirque du Soleil music is remixed and for the first time, with English lyrics. Delirium delivers a multi sensory experience using holograms, virtual reality, multi-media sound, theatre, dance, international music and video projectory imaging to create a magical world. The show guarantees to be a spectacle on an epic scale, featuring a cast of 36 talented and multidisciplinary artists from 15 different countries, comprising eight musicians, six singers, eleven dancers, eight acrobats and three main characters. Tickets go on sale on Friday 22nd February and can be purchased via www.theo2.co.uk or by calling The O2 box office on 0844 858 0202. |
