Cirque du Soleil ‘Dralion’ Comes To Town

Cirque du Soleil ‘Dralion’ has come to town. Performing at Toyota Center in Houston,TX until Sunday, December 4th, Dralion is by far the best Cirque production I have ever been to.

“Fusing the 3000 year-old tradition of Chinese acrobatic arts with the multidisciplinary approach of Cirque du Soleil, Dralion draws its inspiration from Eastern philosophy and its never-ending quest for harmony between humans and nature. The show’s name is derived from its two emblematic creatures: the dragon, symbolizing the East, and the lion, symbolizing the West.

In Dralion, the four elements that govern the natural order take on a human form. Thus embodied, each element is represented by its own evocative colour: air is blue; water is green; fire is red; earth is ochre. In the world of Dralion, cultures blend, Man and Nature are one, and balance is achieved.”

BackstageOL got a chance to meet the cast of Dralion and get a “behind of the scenes” sneak peek of the show.  Check it out!
