Cirque du Soleil Adds New Elements to ZAIA Show in Macau

Cirque du Soleil is adding new artistic elements to its popular ZAIA show at the Venetian Macau.

ZAIA is a breathtaking performance by the world-famous Cirque du Soleil, which tells the story of the dream of a young girl (Zaia) who journeys into space on an adventurous yet familiar voyage of self-discovery.

ZAIA presents the young girl’s perception of the stars and planets, space and infinity, all populated by a panoply of fantastic, literally out-of-this-world creatures. With dance, movement and aerial acrobatics, it spellbinds audiences, taking them on an imaginary journey to the farthest reaches of space and human beauty.

The 90-minute production is the first permanent show in Asia by Cirque du Soleil and brings together 75 high-caliber artists from all around the globe.

From 1 September 2011, ZAIA will feature new diversified performances and new characters.

One of the new performances includes a dazzling Hand to Hand act which requires absolute mastery of balance and control.

Along with the new Hand to Hand performance, another high level acrobatic element is the Roller Skates. Passing through at a very high speed on a small table, the performers are sure to excite and dazzle spectators.

Some new Asian elements have also been introduced, including a Lion Dance performance.

An astonishing Juggling act is another new element. Wearing illuminated costumes, the jugglers will astound audiences with their skills.

ZAIA is presented in a custom-built 1,800 seat theatre at the Venetian Macau. Regular performances run Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday through Sunday.
