Dreams of Circus… Never give up on your dreams
About Sogno:
Rampin is a street sweeper at the “Circus of Dreams,” the legendary circus for clowns. His dream is to become a world-renowned clown, but his shyness and clumsiness keeps him from reaching his ultimate goal over and over again. Throughout his journey, Rampin has never been in front of a show audience.
Sad and distraught he decides to retire —- shortly after working different odds jobs he falls into a deep sleep state that takes him onto a fabulous adventure (SOGNO) where he meets other aspiring clown dreamers. Rampin and his new circus friends friends take the audience on an immersive journey to turn their clown dreams into a reality and overcome a variety of obstacles during the magical voyage.
“Sogno” is a story that uplifts and inspires you, if you do not try, you will never know if you can. The motto of Sogno is “never give up,” even though it seems the universe is against you. Life lessons by “Rampin” to follow your instincts and use your talents to make your dreams a reality.
Dreams of Circus invites young children and adult spectators to jump into the magical world of circus during an immersive journey with “Sogno” exploring an alternative world of comedic/acrobatic situations and discovering how self-confidence can help you reach your goals.
SOGNO pushes the imagination of childhood fantasy dreams of the circus. International acrobats are part of the world of SOGNO, who are determined to wake up the imagination of the youngest child to the adult who never gives up on dreaming.
This circus performance is suited for the whole family to enjoy (2 years old and older). It will be premiere in Miami from May 12th to the 21st at the Paseo de las Artes in Doral – 3635 NW 78th Ave Doral, Fl 33122.
“Sogno… Dreams of Circus” was created by Francisco Santos, a Spaniard veteran of Cirque du Soleil (creator of successful shows for children and adults.)

“Sogno” Dreams of Circus… Never give up on your dreams
About Sogno:
Rampin is a street sweeper at the “Circus of Dreams,” the legendary circus for clowns. His dream is to become a world-renowned clown, but his shyness and clumsiness keeps him from reaching his ultimate goal over and over again. Throughout his journey, Rampin has never been in front of a show audience. Sad and distraught he decides to retire —- shortly after working different odds jobs he falls into a deep sleep state that takes him onto a fabulous adventure (SOGNO) where he meets other aspiring circus dreamers.

Varekai By Cirque Du Soleil Descends From The Sky And Into The BB&T Center In Sunrise, Florida!
For Fifteen Performances! August 12 – 23, 2015
A dormant volcano, a mystical forest and an ancient prophecy… the adventure of Icarus begins when Varekai, Cirque du Soleil’s latest arena touring production, descends from the sky and into the BB&T Center in Sunrise, Florida, for fifteen performances – August 12-23, 2015! Ticket prices range from $40 – $100 (subject to change).
Tickets for the general public are now available at www.cirquedusoleil.com/varekai or by calling 1-800-745-3000.
Deep within a forest, at the summit of a volcano, exists an extraordinary world – a world where something else is possible. A world called Varekai.
The story of Varekai begins as Icarus, a solitary young man, falls from the sky and lands in a lush, wonderous world called Varekai.
Parachuted into the shadows of a magical forest – a kaleidoscopic world imbued with fantastical creatures – Icarus takes flight in an adventure both absurd and extraordinary. At the edge of time, in a place of pure and undiluted possibility, begins an inspired incantation to a life rediscovered and to a newly found wonder in the mysteries of the world and the mind.
The word Varekai (pronounced ver•ay•’kie) means “wherever†in the Romany language of the gypsies the universal wanderers. Directed by Dominic Champagne, this production pays tribute to the nomadic soul, to the spirit and art of the circus tradition, and to those who quest with infinite passion along the path that leads to Varekai.

“Twenty years ago, UniverSoul Circus started as a dream,†said CEO and Founder Cedric Walker. “From a single tour stop in 1994, to amassing a worldwide audience of millions, our steady growth, popularity and critical acclaim has exceeded my wildest expectations. We not only ran away with the circus, we created one. My dream of producing a singular entertainment event for the entire family to enjoy has turned into a reality, ten-fold,†Walker added. The City of Miramar is proud sponsor of UniverSoul Circus.
Cirque du Soleil is a company that has been around for many years entertaining and enamoring an array of diverse crowds and cultures around the world. I have had the privilege to dig seriously into the mesmerizing world of these romantic, comedic, dramatic and poetically-mastered acrobatic stories that have touched the hearts and lives of many. In the search for some answers, I have come across the most fascinating facts, and have compiled a few pieces of information about the shows and the history of Cirque du Soleil.
An interview with Cirque du Soleil’s spokesperson:
Tell us a little bit about how a show is born…what are the first pieces of inspired thoughts, and the actions taken thereafter to put those pieces together to make those ideas come to life? Â
First comes the creative spark in the genius mind of the Director of Creation. It could be an image, a song, a feeling… anything! A team, including the World’s top Creators in each field, is then put together to bring these ideas to life. Â
How is then a program arranged or coordinated along with all the logistics?Â
The Creation process of a Cirque du Soleil show averages 13 months! During that time a lot happens simultaneously; creation, casting, production, rehearsals. So much happens that it is hard to describe. I would say the best way to experience it is to watch the Emmy Award winning series “Fire Within†following the creation of Cirque du Soleil VAREKAI.
Besides the performers, how many other people are involved in the production/behind-the-scenes to put on a Cirque du Soleil show?Â
On Quidam we have 45 performers coming from 20 different countries and 45 crew members. Show technicians, cooks, sport medicine therapists, truck drivers, accountants…altogether the Quidam family requires 90 people from 25 countries to make the magic happen. Â
What inspired this upcoming show, Quidam, in particular? Â
Franco Dragone had spearheaded several Cirque du Soleil productions and wanted to explore a new dimension; real life, real characters, real emotions. This time around Cirque du Soleil brings you into the imaginary world of a little girl, Zoé.
What is the intention, not just with Quidam, but with all the previous, current and future stories performed by Cirque du Soleil…is it more entertaining, or is intention more towards connecting with the audience at an emotional level?
Cirque du Soleil is dedicated to the creation, production and performance of artistic works whose mission is to invoke the imagination, provoke the senses and evoke the emotions of people around the world.
What can we expect from this show that could, perhaps, be different from all the other shows we have seen to date?
Quidam is a beautiful, emotional haunting production. Instead of putting on stage fantastical creatures, Quidam visits a world where eccentric characters take the shape of humans with real life concerns and emotions.
Would you like to share something in particular about the main character of this story, or about the storyline of Quidam?
The great thing with Quidam is, it is very theatrical but the storyline is not force-fed to the audience, therefore you might be sitting next to a person that sees a completely different meaning behind the imagery of Quidam depending on their own life story. I always love to eardrop on conversation as the crown leaves the show – you hear the best show reviews and interpretations!

Cirque Du Soleil Totem New Big Top Production in Miami
Opens January 10, 2013 Â through February 24, 2013
Blue-and-Yellow Big Top
Sun Life Stadium
347 Don Shula Drive
Miami Gardens, FL 33056
Limited Engagement
Tickets Now Available
Cirque du Soleil returns to Miami with TOTEM, a new big top production. Written and directed by Robert Lepage, TOTEM premieres on January 10, 2013 for a limited engagement under the blue and yellow Big Top at its new Miami location: next to Sun Life Stadium, Lot 14.
Since its world premiere in 2010, TOTEM has visited over 15 different cities in 4 different countries and performed in front of more than 1.5 million spectators. TOTEM marks the 8th Cirque du Soleil Big Top touring show to visit Miami since 1989!
The word “totem†contains the idea of the order of species. We carry in our bodies the potential of all species, all the way to our desire to fly—like the thunderbird at the top of the totem pole.
Written and directed by Robert Lepage, TOTEM traces the fascinating journey of the human species from its original amphibian state to its ultimate desire to fly. The characters evolve on a stage evoking a giant turtle, the symbol of origin for many ancient civilizations. Inspired by many founding myths, TOTEM illustrates, through a visual and acrobatic language, the evolutionary progress of species. Somewhere between science and legend, TOTEM explores the ties that bind Man to other species, his dreams and his infinite potential.
The cast of TOTEM comprises 52 performing artists from 19 countries.
Under the artistic guidance of Guy Laliberté and Gilles Ste-Croix, the show brings together a team of 12 creators, including Robert Lepage – Writer and Director; Neilson Vignola – Director of Creation; Carl Fillion – Set and Props Designer; Kym Barrett – Costume Designer; Bob & Bill – Composers and Musical Directors; Jeff Hall – Choreographer; Étienne Boucher – Lighting Designer; Pedro Pires – Image Content Designer; Jacques Boucher – Sound Designer; Pierre Masse – Rigging and Acrobatic Equipment Designer; Florence Pot – Acrobatic Performance Designer; and Nathalie J. Simard – Makeup Designer.
Sponsors: Cirque du Soleil gratefully acknowledges Infiniti, CGI, Xerox and Sun Life Financial as the Official Sponsors of the US 2012-2013 TOTEM Tour.

Lock your doors, secure your homes, beginning October 18, The Vampire Circus will release an army of vampires into Miami and transform Downtown Miami’s Bayfront Park into a haven for the beautiful and seductive creatures of the night until Halloween, October 31. At The Vampire Circus, spectators will witness a world filled with super natural Circus performers, terror and suspense, enchanted magic and comedy that will leave them dying for more and an exotic ambiance of panic and fear that would make Tim Burton proud.
The Vampire Circus is a phenomenal night of live entertainment, based on the multidisciplinary skills of 30 world-class artists showcasing theater, dance and gymnastics. All of which push the physical boundaries of human performances and leave the audiences amazed and astounded. The cast is an eclectic mix of professional entertainers featuring the cream of the crop that includes the most renowned clown in the world “Slava the Clown,†magicians trained from the original folklore, world champion acrobats and gymnasts recruited from the top acrobatic clubs across the globe who have achieved Guinness Book of Records fame.
“The Vampire Circus will take audiences into a journey of immersive experience, where it plunges guests into a deep hypnosis state while breaking the fourth wall, said Javier Francisco Santos, Artistic Director for The Vampire Circus. With The Vampire Circus, you are fully integrated into something that is happening in front of you, around you and sometimes inside of you. Come meet the Vampires…we ‘ll leave the lights off for you!â€
The show is inspired by the magical and captivating allure of legendary traveling carnivals. Set in Bohemia during the 19 century, Count Dracula contemplates a plan for world domination, when he decides to open a traveling circus with his gypsy bodyguards. The Vampire Circus is a perfect cover-up to travel unnoticed and unleash Dracula’s world reign of terror and turn all humans into an army of vampires for global dominance. A good nightmare of this kind comes so rarely…
New Year’s Eve 2010 I went to see Cirque du Soleil’s Kooza in downtown Miami. A few days later I was trolling around on Twitter and met my friend Ofelia over some of her photos of the event. We have other things in common, but our love of Cirque du Soleil still rides high in the book.
So when we saw that the Circus was coming to Bank Atlantic Center a few months ago, we coordinated to go with our families on the same day, and as it turned out, she and her husband and son were even seated in the same section as my wife and me. Yes, of course we started the afternoon off with an awesome meal at the Grand Lux Cafe at Sawgrass Mills Mall. Guess what? All Hispanics aren’t fashionably late, despite what you might have heard. And the mega rain was truly an excuse this time, not needed.
Anyway, I know this is about the show, but let me give a thumbs up for the restaurant. The reservation for 4 I gave yesterday was an unplanned test when I showed with 5 today. Way to handle it perfectly! My BBQ Baby Back Ribs were spectacular. And that creative slaw, fries and corn bread you baked were fabulous. Everyone else loved their food too! Thank you for not bitching or rolling your eyes when I asked you to split the already un-split check. I will be back! And I digged the dressy gators out front of the restaurant.
Bank Atlantic Center. Premium parking is a rip! For $45 I’d arrive in a limo with a hooker the escort we saw some fat dude with. Well even the $20 basic parking was a rip-off, but it was raining hard. Thank God, NO RED. I’m a Flyers fan. Our friend’s son had to chug his Gatorade or dump it before passing security. Jeez. Oh, now I see why? Gatorades are $5 yet still better priced than the $9 Heineken pounders. I bought nothing inside. My wife decided she needed a $5 coffee, but OK, nothing.
The show started promptly, as usual, with the Clowns joking around with the audience. Pretty standard, comic relief, and lots of laughs. (Do they do that in other cities or just in Miami where inconsiderate people show up to a professional show 20-30 minutes late? This isn’t a little league game). They also of course picked out one unsuspecting dude from the audience to get picked on. Very good sport.
The first half of the show was a little slow to be honest. Obviously the skills were difficult for every event, but Cirque has a very high standard to reach for the guy who’s seen a lot of them. Other audience members agreed. I overheard at least 3 or 4 dudes in the enormous dude restroom line say the same thing. Best part was the trampoline act where two guys and two gals took turns flipping off the roof of a house, running up walls, narrowly missing each other, back and forth drama. All the while, a woman sang in the middle of them on a balcony. Great choreography, no collisions, really cool.
The juggler had a rough day today. He started off with some sweet moves, rolling the balls around his body. He did some kind of ball break-dance with his arms and hands, also very cool. He had an assistant giving balls from a rope high above him. What more could a guy want? But his finale, 8 balls, didn’t go awesomely. His first try was the best but he didn’t complete the routine. Three tries. Honestly, I felt the task was impossible, but then again I drink beer and cognac and don’t juggle. Was a strong routine, regardless!
The first half also sported lots of double-people dragons, which I’m sure took enormous coordination. Big pole balancing guys. There was a guy in an egg that did some rotations around and around, but I think we were expecting fast and not precise muscle moves. And some chick a few rows behind me almost got in deep doo-doo for turning on her cell phone camera toward the end. Jeez, some people.
After intermission, I could feel the people asking for high-energy entries. I felt the second half started slow as well. While I think the lady twirling on the blue curtains was very talented and ballsy, the segment went way too long. But I thought the Yo-yo chicks were absolutely terrific throwing yo-yos into the air, catching them, and a zillion other really cool tricks. High energy, big smiles, and a really amazing performance. My wife and I thought that one was great!
Let’s talk about the clowns. They were entertaining. No doubt, despite their French chatter. And I loved their parody and mocking of all the other performers in one particular skit they did. Was great. Even the “audience member” that we chatted about earlier finally was identified as part of the cast, a clown, yep. And he was so believable at “Average Joe” too! But in the end, the clowns were too much of the show, seriously.
Other favorites from the second half included the “Diving Through Rings” acrobats, very entertaining. And the finale, the Jump Rope dudes, amazing coordination, strength and timing.
Everyone loved the music and the band was introduced during the show as well. Love that they had their “pit” below the house and you could see them and lights from there throughout the show. The singers were great as usual, no doubt about it.
Overall impression: I really enjoyed myself. There is nothing like Cirque du Soleil. There are many other shows I’ve seen that I loved, while this one was just comme ci, comme ça. Happy I went. Merci for reading.

Mega-Production Odysseo by Cavalia in Miami Opens
February 28, 2012
Bicentennial Park
1075 Biscayne Blvd.
Miami, FL 33132
Purchase Tickets Online
After a successful run in Atlanta, site of its US premiere, Odysseo, the new touring show by renowned production company Cavalia Inc., is already preparing for its Miami run, premiering under the White Big Top February 29 at 8:00 p.m. in Bicentennial Park, two weeks earlier than originally scheduled.
“We have streamlined the massive moving process for our touring show between cities, allowing Miami to experience our all-new show, Odysseo, two weeks earlier than planned,†explained Normand Latourelle, Cavalia Inc.’s founder and artistic director.
In Odysseo, spectators join human and equine artists on a journey through some of the world’s most wondrous landscapes. Cavalia’s new production marries the equestrian arts, stage arts and high-tech theatrical effects at never-before-seen levels. The 80-ton technical grid, as big as that found in the best-equipped permanent theaters in the world, supports lighting, a full-size merry-go-round, and 18 cinema projectors that create high-definition landscape backdrops on screens twice the size of a standard IMAX. These scenes surround the world’s largest touring stage, 27,000 square feet, rendering Odysseo a 5-D mega-production, a feast for the eyes that still succeeds in delivering the spectacular with soul.
“For now,†added Latourelle, “the task is to move Odysseo’s touring village from Atlanta to Miami, no small undertaking. For the horses and artists, it’s time to relax, but for the technical crews it’s full-steam ahead!â€
After their final show in Atlanta, Odysseo’s 71 beautiful, highly trained horses will travel in six trailers the 365 miles to their “horse spa†between runs, Peninsula Farm in Ocala, Florida, a world-class equestrian center. Odysseo’s publicist, JD Pelletier, will Tweet and post on Facebook daily about the horses’ journey there and their activities while on vacation.
Depending on their discipline, the horses spend between six months and ten years training to be in the show. But accompanied by their grooms, artist-riders, vet techs, blacksmiths and stable managers, Ocala is really a vacation for these horses – no daily rehearsals, just playtime as they freely roam through fields and get plenty of pampering every day. After their three-week respite they will head to the Odysseo village in Miami’s Bicentennial Park on Thursday, February 23.
Covering an area greater than a football field, Odysseo’s is the world’s biggest touring Big Top, yet in terms of everything from seat size to audience proximity to the action, it feels like a permanent theater. To recreate this engineering marvel in Miami, a crew of 230 workers in Atlanta will load everything onto 110 18-wheel trucks bound for Miami. After five days setting up in Miami, Cavalia will invite media for a first tour inside the White Big Top on Wednesday, February 15. In total, three weeks are required to recreate the entire village, a process that will take 130 Cavalia Inc. employees plus 150 local Miamians working around the clock to be ready for the premiere.
While technical crews are hard at work, many of Odysseo’s onstage artists, hand-picked from eight different countries for their particular expertise, will return to their native lands between cities for a little R&R with their families. The troupe of 11 incredibly powerful Guinean acrobats, who grew up tumbling and flipping on the beach in their spare time, will head back to their African village. The show’s dressage champions will relax in rural France. Quebecois aerialists will snowshoe and ski, then warm themselves around the fire, and other artists will return to Spain, Italy and Ukraine, among other countries. All will be back for rehearsals in Miami before the big premiere at the Odysseo site in Miami’s Bicentennial Park on February 29 – leap day!

World Champion Dogs In A Canine Extravaganza Show Will Donate Portion of Ticket Proceeds to Humane Society of Greater Miami
Who let the dogs out? We’re not sure, but Miami will be host to talented world champion and “celebrity†canines when DOGS debuts for the first time in the U.S. Seen around the globe, this live touring production introduces audiences to an exciting dog show under the Big Top at Bicentennial Park. DOGS will impress and entertain South Florida beginning September 28, 2011.
Guests who attend the show will be amazed by the talented and energetic canines. Acts like frisbee, dog diving, obstacle course, weave poles and much more, will have audiences cheering, while the four-legged characters run, jump, leap and sing throughout a memorable 120 minute production. In fact, several of the dogs have been featured in Hollywood films such as Disney’s “Life is Ruff†and “Water for Elephants.†The show also showcases Bella and Grit, Frisbee World Championship winners, and Julio, an English Bulldog that specializes in extreme skateboarding and mathematical equations. DOGS is a production pooch lovers won’t want to miss.
In an effort to assist the Humane Society of Greater Miami in creating a more loving community for pets by providing shelter and medical care to cats and dogs, DOGS will donate a portion of ticket proceeds to the non-profit organization. To further encourage the adoption of pets, the Humane Society will have dogs on-site available for adoption to loving families after some presentations.
“DOGS was originally created to increase awareness about the neglect and cruelty dogs endure,†said the show’s producer, Arturo Guzmán. “ More than 50% of the dogs in the show have been rescued from the streets or pounds. The show not only promotes pet adoption, but also displays the unconditional relationship between dogs and trainers.â€
DOGS is an interactive two-hour live family show, full of music, special effects and constant action. The Purina sponsored show highlights the unique bond between man and dog and raises awareness of the mistreatment of animals, while promoting the adoption of canines. Recognized and applauded by worldwide organizations, like Purina and The Humane Society, DOGS takes pride in being a fun show that also bears an important message.
DOGS is presented under a 40,000 square feet big top, which takes over 10 days, 30 men and two cranes to set up. With a total of 25 trainers and 38 dogs, the show has entertained more than 500,000 spectators in eight different countries.

Cavalia marks the Adrienne Arsht Center’s very first off-site production, and underlines the Center’s commitment to provide world-class, diverse programming to the city of Miami, and the South Florida community.
This spectacular production was created by Cirque du Soleil co-founder, Normand Latourelle, and is often compared to Cirque for the way it revolutionizes equestrian and performing arts, much like Cirque revolutionized the circus. Cavalia will stop in Miami, as it makes the rounds to major cities on its North American tour, after touring in Europe for two years. “I had the opportunity to bring Cirque du Soleil’s Cirque Réinventé to Miami in 1989,†says Normand Latourelle, Cavalia founder and artistic director. “I am extremely proud to introduce a new type of show to Miami on the 20th anniversary of this milestone. I hope that the people will embrace Cavalia’s magic.â€
“We are honored to co-present such a beautiful performance such as Cavalia,†said M. John Richard, President and CEO of the Adrienne Arsht Center. “South Florida will fall in love with this highly acclaimed, artistic demonstration of the unique bond between humans and horses.â€
Cavalia is not just a show for horse-lovers. Nor is it a show just for Cirque-fanatics. It is a lavish orchestration of multimedia, equestrian and performing arts designed to astound and entertain people of all ages and backgrounds. Under the world’s largest touring Big Top, which rises 100 feet above ground and spans more than 26,264 feet, 60 of the most magnificent creatures on the planet will express themselves in all their beauty, grace and strength on a 160-foot wide stage. While the horses gallop and cavort and, at times, run free completely unbridled, the show will incorporate unbelievable acrobatics, original live music and stunning special FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Friday, November 20, 2009and lighting effects to create a dreamlike setting, making it apparent to see why this show has become a global sensation.
Across North America and Europe, Cavalia has enthralled audiences and been praised by critics for its captivating and unique experience. CNN’s Larry King raved, “The greatest show I have ever seen!†The Washington Post exclaims, “Impressive, highly refined, indeed a wonder!†The New York Times describes the show as “a celebration of the unique emotional and physical bonds between humans and animals,†while O Magazine exclaimed that “The wildly beautiful stallions of Cavalia leave audiences with their hearts galloping,†and the Los Angeles Times summed it up with “Blissful play, haunting score…striking aerial grace.†Madrid’s El Pais remarked “Like in a dream,†while Berlin’s Zeitung said “Cavalia shows flawless artistry.†Lastly, Amsterdam’s De Telegraf proclaimed Cavalia as “A fairytale for the entire family!â€
Cavalia features 12 different breeds of horses, including Arabians, Lusitanos, Spanish Pure Breed, Quarter Horses, and Paint horses from France, Canada, Spain and the United States. The featured 2-legged artists represent the nations of the United States, Australia, Belgium, Canada, Kyrgyzstan, Morocco, Portugal and Russia.
The significance of the 4-legged performers can also be seen in the signature “C†of Cavalia’s logo, with a horse’s head depicted in the letter (the “l†in Cavalia is also representative in the shape of a horse’s leg).
