-

Date: Aug 1-12 — 7:30 pm

Venue: Cadillac Center, Beijing Toruk — The First Flight is a live immersive multimedia spectacle that brings to the stage the breathtaki­ng world of James Cameron’s Avatar like you have never seen it before. Through a riveting fusion of cutting-edge visuals, puppetry and stagecraft buoyed by a soaring cinematic score, Cirque du Soleil applies its unique signature style to James Cameron’s imaginary world and “makes the bond” between two kinds of red artistic visions that capture the imaginatio­n. This live immersive experience also bears the distinct signature of directors and multimedia innovators Michel Lemieux and Victor Pilon. It is a living ode to the Na’vi’s symbiotic coexistenc­e with nature and their belief in the basic interconne­ctedness of all living things. From a group of 20 street performers at its beginnings in 1984, Cirque du Soleil is a major Quebec-based organizati­on providing high-quality artistic entertainm­ent. The company has close to 4,000 employees, including 1,300 artists from more than 50 different countries. Cirque du Soleil has brought wonder and delight to close to 155 million spectators in more than 300 cities in over forty countries on six continents.
