Cirque du Soleil -- DRALION     sold out

The newest production marks a turning point with a new creative team. Dralion is the fusion of ancient Chinese circus tradition and the avant-garde approach of Cirque du Soleil.  Suspended in time between the past and the future, Dralion is a celebration of life and the four elements that maintain the natural order: air, water, fire and earth. The breathtaking futuristic set--an immense technological sculpture, exotic costumes and the fusion of sounds from East and West create a dynamic performance that seems to transcend the boundaries of the imagination and lead us into a dreamscape with a new and sparkling perspective.  Featuring 54 artists from 10 different countries, Chinese acrobats, trapeze artists, dancers and clowns. This is Cirque du Soleil at its purest!  Limit of 2 tickets per member, $65 member or $70 guests. For information, call David Mowday at  333.2212. The performance will be at a circus tent next to Pacific Bell Park.

Note: Cirque du Soleil is sold out and has a long waitlist.
