Review of: TORUK – The First Flight Cirque du Soleil Show!

By Susan Balsamo June 22, 2016
TORUK –  The First Flight is Cirque's prequel to James Cameron's "Avatar" that recreates the world of Pandora in vivid color and breathtaking scenery - about a pair of Na'vi youths coming of age in a journey around the planet to save the all-important Tree of Souls and their people from extinction. The narrator of the show is a strong presence and helps move the story along seeing that the Na'vi speak their own language.  

Of course, there are the usual jaw dropping acrobatics and seemingly impossible physical stunts that keep the audience at the edge of their seats. *A volcano rumbles and erupts. *A waterfall pours from the backdrop. Amazing puppeteering make wolves, horses and the winged Toruk itself, as real as any of the actors and acrobats. It was an amazing show that transported you to another place and left you amazed with actors showing their craft and athleticism. Don't miss this show while it is in town this week.


Ticket information: TORUK – The First Flight will be presented at CONSOL Energy Center, June 22-26, 2016. Tickets can be purchased at https://www.cirquedusoleil.com/toruk.
