Cirque du Soleil for the first time in Brazil
After having presented its shows in over 100 cities around the world, Cirque du Soleil arrives in Brazil next August with its unique production, Saltimbanco.
A true
celebration of life, Saltimbanco
has been celebrated by over 10 million people worldwide. Conceived as
an antidote to the violence and despair so prevalent in the 20th century, this
phantasmagoria offers up a new vision of urban life, overflowing with optimism
and joy. Saltimbanco is anything but linear; rather, it is a kaleidoscope, a
whirlwind, an adventure in which anything can happen. Saltimbanco has its
own special language, and its spirit is conveyed through voice, movement and
music.

Did
you know?
Since 1995,
Cirque du Soleil has developed the Cirque du Monde program in Brazil with local
non-profit organizations working with youth at risk. Subsequently in
collaboration with Cirque du Soleil, FASE (Federação
de Òrgaos para Assistência Social e Educacional), a Brazilian development NGO,
took on the leadership of the Cirque du Monde social circus program's
development that eventually led to the inception of
the Rede Circo do Mundo
Brasil.
The
Rede Circo do Mundo
Brasil is a Brazilian network of 22 organizations
helping marginal youth through social circus programs. The circus
arts are used as a tool for psychosocial, cultural and educational
development. The objective of the activities is to instill positive
values and qualities that are important to social integration such as
self-esteem, a sense of humor, social interaction, team work and a sense of
belonging.
Fundraising
activities in support of the Rede Circo do Mundo
Brasil are organized by the DREAMS CAN BE
FOUNDATION, a Brazilian organization that promotes
international cooperation and raises funds both locally and in the
U.S.
