Wintuk: winter holiday show returning to NY



Cirque du Soleil will return to New York with the holiday family show Wintuk for its final season at the Theater at Madison Square Garden from 17 Nov 2010 to 2 Jan 2011.

Wintuk: Jamie lives in an imaginary city where the arrival of winter has brought intense cold, but no snow! He interacts with a cast of high-energy urban street characters, including acrobats, dancers and talking lampposts. Jamie embarks on a journey to an imaginary North called Wintuk. He is joined by three companions—a female Shaman with magical powers, the girl he has fallen head over heels for and a timid young man called Wimpy, destined to discover his own courage. Jamie's goal: bring the snow back to where it belongs.

This seasonal story features an international cast of 50 performers from Cirque du Soleil.

Wintuk is written by Richard Blackburn, directed by Fernand Rainville and choreographed by Catherine Archambault. The creative team includes sets by Patricia Ruel, costumes by François Barbeau, lighting by Yves Aucoin and Matthieu Larivée and sound by Jonathan Deans and Leon Rothenberg.
