Crystal is
an arena touring show by Cirque du Soleil that started previewing to the public
in October 2017, with an official premiere in December 2017. It is Cirque du
Soleil's 42nd original show since 1984, and the first one done on an ice rink,
where most of the performers are ice skating throughout the show, and blends
several circus acts with high-level ice skating. It is described as a woman
shattering reality to discover herself in the world of possibility.
Kurt Browning, a four-time world champion Canadian figure
skater, joined the creative team as the Skating Performances Senior Designer,
along with Benjamin Agosto, four-time world medalist American ice dancer, as
the Skating Performances Designer.
Crystal is not just an ice
show, it’s the very first experience on ice from Cirque
du Soleil. Watch world-class ice skaters and acrobats claim their
new frozen playground with speed and fluidity as they challenge the laws of
gravity with never-before-seen acrobatics. A new kind of performance as Cirque du Soleil meets the ice to
defy all expectations.
Directed by Shana Carroll and Sebastien Soldevila,
Crystal, our misfit heroine, takes you on an exhilarating tale of
self-discovery as she dives into a world of her own imagination. Feel the
adrenaline as she soars through this surreal world to become what she was
always destined to be: confident, curious, and creative. CRYSTAL invites you to
suspend reality and glide into a world that springs to colorful life with
astounding visual projections and a soundtrack that seamlessly blends popular
music (U2’s “Beautiful Day”. Beyonce’s “Halo”, Nina Simone’s “Sinnerman”, and
Sia’s “Chandelier”) with the signature sound of
Cirque du Soleil.
