Head to the circus!
Cirque du Soleil's brand new production, '˜Varekai, Tales of the Forest,' will opens its tour here in Sheffield this week, with five performances at Sheffield Arena.
The story of Varekai begins with a single man parachuted into the shadows of a magical forest; a kaleidoscopic world imbued with fantastical creatures.
The show will open in the Steel Hall setting on Thursday and will run until Sunday. From a group of 20 street performers at its beginnings in 1984, Cirque du Soleil now has 4,000 employees, including 1,300 performing artists from 50 different countries.
