Cirque du Soleil - Saltimbanco [DVD]

Saltimbanco is a celebration of life where an international troupe of more than fifty performers ranging from 8 to 45 yearsof age defy gravity and dazzle with their artistry. A panoply of acts in which top-notch acrobatics are executed with masterly beauty-handbalancing, double trapeze, double tightrope, Chinese poles, the Russian swing, bungees, jugglers and clowns. Created in 1994 as an antidote to the violence and despair typical of the 20th century, this phantasmagorical show proposes a new vision of urbanity, overflowing with optimism and happiness. Saltimbanco is not linear; rather, it is a kaleidoscope, an adventure in which anything can happen. Saltimbanco has its own language-a soul expressed through the voice, the body and music.
