Chi IL Live Shows On Our Radar:
Cirque du Soleil Fuses Excitement, Breathtaking Artistry and
Unique Creativity with Ice in
Crystal
A Breakthrough Ice Experience
To be presented at Sears Centre Arena in Hoffman Estates,
in six performances only, November 16-19, 2017
This show is sure to be cool (literally!) as it features the artistic attributes of ice! Do note, unlike the tent shows that stick around town for months, Cirque du Soleil's arena shows are always a short run, and this new work is playing the Chicago area for 6 shows only. Don't miss this. Get your tickets ASAP!
My son and daughter have both studied circus arts for years and have performed on stage with Chi, IL based Actors Gymnasium and CircEsteem. They've also studied with Chicago's MSA Circus and Aloft. So, I'm elated to be able to bring the whole family out to see how the pros perform and merge ice with performance art. We can't wait to check out Crystal!
Cirque du Soleil is thrilled to venture into uncharted territory with its brand new creation, Cirque du Soleil Crystal, exploring the artistic attributes of ice for the very first time. Specifically created for arenas, the state-of-the-art production will create a fresh innovative experience, pushing the boundaries once again by combining outstanding skating and sliding, remarkable aesthetics and acrobatic feats that defy the imagination.
“We are excited to create a unique entertainment experience on ice for all spectators to enjoy. It's a wonderful opportunity for Cirque du Soleil as ice provides us with an entirely new field of play which also comes with a set of creative challenges. Our goal is to continuously surprise audiences by showcasing all the incredible possibilities on ice,” explained Yasmine Khalil, Executive Producer of Crystal.
Crystal will follow a young woman who shatters through reality to reach a surreal world filled with possibility. Beneath the surface, she pursues the life that has been glistening within. Sometimes, we must first leave solid ground to find our true footing.
Cirque du Soleil invites the audience to discover Crystal – A Breakthrough Ice Experience – and find out what it means to skate on the edge of reality.
