The Cirque Du Soleil combination of spectacular acrobatic and brain-scratching story line works best when it is grounded in noticeable human dynamics. The quiet, and moving Quidam is set in a most basic situation: a child dealing with distant parents and trying to make sense of a confusing, dark and at times, beautiful world.
There are few characters, but their personalities are vast. The mother and father are completely self-absorbed and are totally alienated from the rest of the world. Target, a living human bulleyes, picked on by everyone, but is always smiling. Boum-Boum, enjoys screaming at the audience, but will run away if screamed at by someone else. And Quidam, the shows character who is anonymous, no one and everyone. Said to be a conjuring of Zoe's imagination, and an exemplification of everyone's self-being.
The show is touring beginning mid April in North Carolina and will then move to South Carolina through the end of April. Then, in May the show will move to Georgia and Florida for the month before heading to Iowa, Ohio, Kentucky and Tennessee through June. The show will return to North Carolina in July and then back to Florida in August.
