Due to high public demand Cirque du Soleil’s Dralion, proudly presented by Optus, will extend its Canberra season with an additional week of shows. Dralion will be presented under the blue-and-yellow Grand Chapiteau (Big Top) from Thursday 23 October 2008-16 November 2008.
Tickets are on sale now for the additional performances. No further extensions will be possible as the Dralion troupe will move on immediately following the Canberra season to perform in Brisbane.
Cirque du Soleil has also released a limited number of tickets to the Premiere of Dralion on Thursday 23 October and tickets are selling fast.
Created and directed by Guy Caron, Dralion has been touring the world since April 1999 and continues to have great success wherever it goes; it is currently wowing audiences in Sydney, where it premiered in July. The show is a fusion of ancient Chinese circus traditions and the avant-garde approach of Cirque du Soleil. The name Dralion is drawn from its two main symbols—the dragon, representing the East, and the lion, representing the West. The cast of Dralion features a total of 65 artists from 14 countries – including a house troupe of 36 Chinese performers.
