Cirque Dusoleil Dralion

Cirque du Soleil – Dralion Tickets

Cirque Du Soleil Dralion is a popular touring production that is known for combining features of Western contemporary circus with the three thousand years old, traditional elements of Chinese circus. By mixing the two culture’s characteristic circus features, the production has not only created something entirely new and inspirational but also paid homage to the theme of East meets West. It is also reflected in the name Dralion, which is a blend of lion ‘symbol of the West’ with dragon ‘symbol of the east. The show is produced by the Canada-based entertainment company called Cirque du Soleil which with the launch of this show has marked its twelfth production while it has also presented its first show since 1985 to not be directed by artist Franco Dragone. The circus show with its many colorful costumes, extravagant set designs, incredible gravity-defying moves and circus finesse is a must-watch.  Having been performed across North America, Oceana, Asia, South America and Europe, it has become exceedingly popular and has prompted its audience to grab the bright-colored Cirque Du Soleil Dralion tickets a second time.

The cast of Cirque Du Soleil Dralion consists of fifty members in the performance troupe, among whom five to six artists perform the roles of principal characters. Some of the main characters of the show include Azala meaning air (which is portrayed as the goddess of air who is also the sun’s keeper and guardian of immorality, dressed up in blue costume); Gaya, which translates to earth (the goddess of the earth and wears an ochre costume); Oceane, meaning water (the goddess of all waters who performs in green); Yao, meaning fire in Chinese (the god of raging fire who symbolizes both the evil and the good in the world and is made to wear red); and Kala (who is responsible for the evolution of time and represent the very heart of the always-turning wheel of time). LittleBuddha portrays the child who is chosen to possess the kind of powers that will gradually help him in becoming an Ame-Force, though the child himself resents being chosen and wants only to live the life of an ordinary child. Dralions are the most important characters of the show that are mythical creatures based upon the concept of Chinese dragon dance and lion dance. Lastly, the Clowns are featured to push the otherwise well-balanced universe a little off harmony.

The backdrop of Cirque Du Soleil Dralion show uses a metallic structure that is about sixty feet wide and twenty-six feet high. The structure is covered completely with perforated aluminum tiles that make it look like rather futuristic Chinese temple or medieval armor. On top of this structure, sox gigantic claws are placed that make it possible for the performing team to climb up the wall from where they can be suspended in mid-air. Further above the stage, three huge concentric aluminum rings are positioned the first of which can be used as a catwalk, while the second provides support to acrobatic equipment and the third ring is for the performers’ use for them to glide up and down while also allowing them to be suspended in air.

The many acts included in Cirque Du Soleil Dralion mix the acrobatic skills of the east and the west and are eleven in number. The Single handbalancing act presents a woman trying to balance herself on just one hand who in trying to do so achieves balance in many poses. Bamboopoles features five twirling acrobats who throw bamboo poles in the air. In Juggling the performers play a juggling act that incorporates acrobatics and break-dance. Trampoline presents several acrobats performing on trampoline while using the futuristic backdrop of the show as a landing pad and driving board. In Medusa, a group of performers use a hoop that is suspended in the air to present choreography. Spirits shows four couples performing a spectacular ballet.
