Cirque du Soleil on Wednesday introduced its new production TOTEM at the headquarters of Fuji TV. The TOTEM Japan Tour starts in Tokyo on Feb 3, 2016, then moves on to Osaka, Nagoya, Fukuoka and Sendai.
TOTEM, an evolution-themed performance, has been staged in 30 cities in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom and the United States since 2010. It shows many aspects of humankind’s journey physically, intellectually and spiritually. The evolution theme also sees Cirque du Soleil adopt new technologies such as projection mapping and movable stages.
At Wednesday’s press conference, two acts were demonstrated for the media — a pair of roller skaters and unicycles with bowls.
Neelanthi Vadivel, artistic director of TOTEM, said the show would be very colorful and humorous, and that she hopes audiences will enjoy the journey through time and continents.
