Cirque du Soleil comes to Zurich for the first time with "Totem"

Cirque du Soleil returns to Zurich with its impressive tent city from September 5 to October 14, 2018. The world-famous Canadian circus is bringing the show "Totem" to Switzerland for the first time and will be performing at the Hardturm Areal.

"Totem" describes the evolution of mankind, from its amphibious origins to the modern dream of flying. The stage on which the characters' development takes place is reminiscent of a gigantic turtle - a symbol of the origin of life in many cultures. In a visually and artistically stunning way, "Totem" explores the relationship that humans have with other living beings, their dreams and their endless potential.

With acrobatic performances, the artists embody selected stages of evolutionary history. The archetypal characters experience and act out the eternal questions of human life in various ways. Alternating between science and legend, "Totem" goes back to the origins, explores the development process, the constant search for balance and the curiosity that drives man - ever further, faster and higher.

Since its world premiere in 2010, "Totem" has already enchanted more than 5 million visitors in over 45 cities. Written and conceived by Robert Lepage, "Totem" brings a team of 46 artists, actors, singers and musicians to the stage with a wide variety of masterpieces: the spectrum ranges from athleticism to comedy and touching theatricality to surprising visual effects.
