Founded in 1984 in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, by Guy Laliberté, Cirque du Soleil has taken the world by storm in its nearly thirty years of success. What started as a move away from traditional circus artistry has evolved to become virtually synonymous with the incredible, almost indescribable type of show that Cirque du Soleil delivers. With shows on every continent save Antarctica, Cirque’s contemporary circus seamlessly blends performance art with theatrics, and its music is now loved the world over. Though Cirque du Soleil produces shows around the world, it has found a fitting home in Las Vegas, Nevada. Sin City may be known for its seemingly endless supply of casinos and clubs, but it is also home to seven unique Cirque du Soleil shows, the newest of which is Zarkana. Save on Zarkana Tickets at ScoreBig.com Zarkana premiered on June 29, 2011 in New York City before moving on to Moscow and Madrid, and it has now taken up residence at the Aria Resort & Casino. The show gets its name from the combination of “bizarre” and “arcana,” which Cirque du Soleil describes as a reference to “the irresistibly odd and delightfully strange aura of this place and its inhabitants.” Zarkana tells the story of a magician who has lost both his love and his magic powers and is transported into a very surreal world on his quest to win them back. This fantastic world is presented in a reinvention of the classic variety show with imagination of a caliber that only Cirque du Soleil could deliver. While it may be the newest Cirque du Soleil show to arrive in Las Vegas, Zarkana has already proven itself on the world stage. This is one show that you absolutely will not want to miss, and ScoreBig.com has the discounted tickets you need to get there.
