Last day for Cirque
City living, Cirque du Soleil style, is at the heart of the troupe's limited run show Saltimbanco. Taken from the Italian phrase meaning literally "to jump on a bench", the re-imagined performance for arena-size audiences explores the busy streets and imposing skyscrapers typical of Asian cities. Its cast of baroque characters goes about their daily lives in an imaginary world that celebrates diversity.
