Cirque on ice
With an early winter blowing into the region, it somehow seems fitting that Cirque du Soleil would announce the arrival of its coolest show to date.Crystal, the Cirque’s first arena ice show, comes to Edmonton’s Rogers Place from Feb. 13 to 17. It is the tale of Crystal, a misfit heroine who soars through a high-speed journey of self-discovery in a surreal world.
Crystal is an opportunity to see a different perspective of Cirque with world-class ice skaters and acrobats gliding across a frozen playground while defying the laws of gravity.
