The word Varekai (pronounced ver·ay·’kie) is about the adventure of Icarus. The sky lets go a solitary young man, and the story of Varekai begins. Parachuted into the shadows of a magical forest, a kaleidoscopic world with fantastical creatures, a young man takes flight in an extraordinary adventure. Parachuted into the shadows of a magical forest, a kaleidoscopic world imbued with fantastical creatures, a young man takes flight in an adventure both absurd and extraordinary. On this day at the edge of time, in this place of pure and undiluted possibility, begins an inspired incantation to a life rediscovered and to a newly found wonder in the mysteries of the world and the mind. Like all Cirque du Soleil productions, Varekai brings amazing death defying acts of human amazement that will leave you breathless in your seat.
