About A Tribute to 10 Years
Drawing its inspiration from classic tales of lost worlds and forces of nature, this special edition of Cirque du Zouk explores themes of love, family, and freedom. Dolly and Tempest, two nature spirits, built an island far from the eyes of the world where lost travellers find refuge. But, as their island continues to grow, new conflicts, wants, and trials strain not only their relationship – but the fate of the humans that inhabit their isle.
In this special edition, world-class international artists and local performers will dance alongside each other, telling stories of love, danger, and exploration alongside circus artists. Tribute features several nods to previous editions with props, music, and featured artists that have been part of 10 years of Cirque production.
