A crown jewel of Cirque du Soleil's ever-growing performance repertoire, Varekai is modern circus show that's loosely based on the Greek myth of Icarus, though with a new twist. Many might be familiar with the story of Icarus flying too close to the sun, only to fall back to Earth. Cirque du Soleil has changed the story into a more hopeful one: instead of falling into the sea, Icarus falls into a lush magical forest where its denizens attempt to teach him how to fly once more. Like all Cirque du Soleil performances, acrobatics and feats of daring abound in a show that is sure to please and inspire audiences of all ages.
