Quidam means nameless passer-by in Latin. A solitary figure on the street corner, someone who rushes by, lost amongst the throng of people. Directed by Franco Dragone, Quidam transforms an anonymous world into a place of hope and connection.

With more than 50 artists from over 10 countries, this is a real Cirque du Soleil experience; an exciting mix of master acrobatics, technical skill, extravagant design and exceptional musical inspiration, interwoven in a seamless plot exuding drama and excitement. Quidam brings together numbers from the German Wheel, Banquine –acrobatics and human pyramids -, Spanish webs, hand-balancing, trapeze, diábolos juggling, aerial contortion in silk and, of course, the beloved clowns. The live music is a product of the eclectic crucible of cultures, classic strings and synthesisers, samplers and guitars. With Quidam, Cirque du Soleil also gives a new focus to vocal art, combining for the first time the fragile voice of a small girl with the powerful voice of a man to create a fascinating mixture of sensitivity and intensity.

Quidam debuted in 1996 and from then on, has been performed in Canada, The USA., Europe, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, The Middle East, Korea and Mexico.Cirque du Soleil was created in Canada in 1984 by Guy Laliberté and Daniel Gauthier. Their shows are known throughout the world for their breath-taking acrobatics, creativity, lighting and sound effects and music and stage design, which have thrilled more than 125 million people. Cirque du Soleil’s artistic approach is to rewrite the rules of the traditional circus, innovate and search for new artistic paths. They are also a perfect provider of creative content for a wide variety of unique projects.
