Cirque Dreams Jungle Fantasy ‘A circus to blow your circuits.’

No need to go to Vegas or New York to see the Cirque… it’s on Maui this weekend! In the footsteps of the successful international touring sensations Cirque Ingenieux and Cirque du Soleil, comes the latest reinvention of theatrical circus artistry. Cirque Dreams Jungle Fantasy, a colorful dream in an enchanted forest, will perform at the Maui Arts & Cultural Center’s Castle Theater Thursday through Saturday, May 15–17.

And… it was just announced that Cirque Dreams is headed for a Broadway run in June! (Get your tickets for a Maui show now and save the plane fare!) The all new soaring adventure has stirred up a lot of excitement in the Maui community, so extra shows have been added for a total of four performances: Thursday through Saturday at 7:30 p.m., and a Saturday matinee show at 2 p.m.

Produced by Cirque Productions and Artistic Director Neil Goldberg, Cirque Dreams Jungle Fantasy is a nonstop, action-packed two-hour adventure performed in two acts that stretches the imagination beyond the realm of possibilities and brings seemingly impossible feats to the stage. An international cast of graceful aerialists, spine-bending contortionists, vine-swinging characters, strongmen and balancers bring this jungle dream to life onstage and in the air in a lush, Broadway setting filled with wild designs and special effects, inventive choreography, puppeteering and dazzling costumes. Imaginative theatrics combined with world-class acrobatics make Cirque Dreams Jungle Fantasy an exhilarating journey the entire family can experience together.

Critics and audiences alike have hailed Goldberg’s Cirque Productions as “a circus to blow your circuits” (San Diego Union Tribune) with “acrobatic audacity and limitless imagination” (New York Daily News). It’s “a mind-tingling spectacle” (Dallas Morning News) and “a fanciful family-friendly production” (Arkansas Democrat-Gazette). The Minneapolis Star-Tribune recommends Cirque Dreams Jungle Fantasy as “very funny, very entertaining—a magical, vividly evoked realm.” USA Today proclaims it, “Dazzling… a fantastical tale in an enchanted jungle.”

Tickets are still available for all four shows. Call or visit The MACC Box Office or call 242-SHOW (7469) from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. There will be food and beverages available in the courtyard before each performance.
