Cirque Du Soleil - The Fire Within / Varekai DVD

Two thrilling Cirque Du Soleil DVDs in one spectacular box set spread over three discs. Cirque Du Soleil - Fire Within: On location in the Cirque's home base of Montreal the newly-assembled Varekai performers must now work harder than they ever have before to get ready for opening night in eight months time. It's a challenge that few are equal to and the greatest acrobats trapeze artists and athletes must train to perfection to create the spectacular extravaganza that is the Cirque du Soleil. The extremity of the experience in all its manifestations has been captured... in this behind-the-scenes documentary. Extraordinarily revelatory each member of the group faces great physical and emotional obstacles on the path toward producing the greatest work of their lives. Cirque Du Soleil - Varekei: The mindbending French Canadian acrobatic theater troupe stars in this highly imaginative allegorical tale about a young man who falls from the sky into a kaleidoscopic world populated by fantastic creatures at the base of a volcano. The production is a dramatic interpretation told through the use of spectacular acrobatics performed by over 50 artists from 13 countries performing feats on the aerial straps Russian swings triple trapeze hand-balancing on canes juggling and many other phenomenal stunts. ""Varekai"" means ""wherever"" in the language of the gypsies and the show itself pays homage to the wanderer in all of us and the passion and beauty of the circus tradition. [show more]
