Cirque du Soleil’s DRALION heads to South Florida!

Cirque du Soleil is pleased to announce that the critically-acclaimed touring production DRALION is currently touring North America.

Thrilling more than 8 million people worldwide since the show premiered in 1999, DRALION is the fusion of ancient Chinese circus traditions and the avant-garde style of Cirque du Soleil.

DRALION is the fusion of ancient Chinese circus tradition and the avant-garde approach of Cirque du Soleil. The name DRALION (pronounced “Drah-lee-on”) is drawn from its two main symbols: the dragon, representing the East, and the lion, representing the West.

DRALION derives much of its inspiration from Eastern philosophy with its perpetual quest for harmony between humankind and nature.  The international cast features 52 world-class acrobats, gymnasts, musicians, singers and comedic characters.

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. Innovation soars to new heights as it defies the laws of nature.

DRALION is a dynamic performance that transcends the boundaries of the imagination and leads us into a dreamscape with a new and sparkling perspective.
Cirque du Soleil’s DRALION will be at the Bank Atlantic Center in Sunrise/Fort Lauderdale, Florida July 19 thru 29, 2012.
