Cirque du Soleil key show in Doha from tomorrow

DOHA: The internationally acclaimed Cirque du Soleil signature production, Dralion, will premiere in Doha tomorrow. 

Performances will run until September 28 and then Dralion will continue its tour to Beirut, Lebanon. 

Tickets are available at www.cirquedusoleil.qa 

Fusing the 3,000-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, symbolising the East, and the lion, symbolising 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. The Peninsula
