8 April-26 May 2005. If the premiere of Saltimbanco in Paris attracted a plethora of stars including Naomi Campbell, Flavio Briatore and Yannick Noah, its because the Cirque du Soleil has acquired a huge reputation that sets it well apart from the somewhat old-fashioned picture of circuses. This Canadian companys style has been labeled the nouveau cirque. Amazing costumes, enchanting colours and smoothly blended - but nonetheless breathtaking - acts: Saltimbanco is a celebration of life. A kaleidoscope, a whirlwind, an adventure in which anything can happen. Ticket prices range from 22 to 74.
