Cirque du Soleil’s TORUK – The First Flight has announced that due to overwhelming demand, tickets for additional matinee performances have gone on sale this morning. Inspired by James Cameron’s record-breaking movie AVATAR, Cirque du Soleil’s uniquely different touring show TORUK – The First Flight will make its UK debut in June at the Manchester Arena from 20-23 June 2019 and London’s O2 Arena from 26-30 June 2019.
With creative input from James Cameron and experts from the movie’s production, TORUK –The First Flight is unlike any other Cirque du Soleil experience. With the brilliance of the Cirque du Soleil performers whose athleticism and acrobatics bring to life the Na’vi, the show is a visual effects spectacular where the world of Pandora is depicted through impressive multimedia projections, massive set-pieces and the largest collection of puppetry in Cirque du Soleil history creating a narrative driven official prequel to AVATAR.
“AVATAR is really meant to be a celebration of human motion and human emotion and Cirque is able to capture that absolutely perfectly, because it’s all about human performance and physicality. It makes you feel alive to watch these performers,” said James Cameron.
The newly added performances will take place at the Manchester Arena on 22 June at 4pm and 23 June at 1pm, as well as at London’s O2 Arena on 29 June at 3:30pm and 30 June at 12:30pm. Tickets are on sale now via the Cirque du Soleil website.
