Cirque du Soleil: TORUK The First Flight\u00a0<\/em>is based on James Cameron\u2019s critically acclaimed 2009 live-action\/animated feature film Avatar, and it will no doubt be incredible to see his visual masterpiece interpreted and brought to life by such talented performers and set designers. This performance will surely transport you to the beautiful world that is Pandora. If you\u2019ve seen the film, you’re probably excited to see how they’ll portray the stunning effects and imaginative creatures from the big screen to the stage.<\/p>\n

If you haven\u2019t seen the film, Pandora is a lush alien world with beings called the Na\u2019vi, a 10-foot tall, blue-skinned, humanoid race with their own culture and unique way of communicating. \u00a0These beings are strongly connected to the creatures and nature that surrounds them on Pandora. Their \u2018Tree of Souls,\u2019 which allows them to spiritually connect with loved ones who have passed on, is one of the many aspects of the film that made it so impressive, and what will make this stage performance so beautiful.<\/p>\n

Trippy, right? Now you have the chance to see the beauty and wonder of Avatar before your very eyes. For more information about the show and to purchase your tickets, visit their website<\/a>. Get your tickets soon, because this show’s going to be a big one this summer.<\/p>\n
