Quidam: a nameless passer-by, a solitary figure lingering on a street corner, a person rushing past. It could be anyone, anybody. Someone coming, going, living in our anonymous society. A member of the crowd, one of the silent majority. The one who cries out, sings and dreams within us all. This is the "Quidam" that Cirque du Soleil is celebrating.

Quidam, latin for 'anonymous passer-by', is an intense and imaginative journey that transforms an alienated world into a place of hope and connection.
The production is a thrilling combination of acrobatic artistry, technical expertise, extravagant design and exceptional musical inspiration, woven into a seamless whole by an emotional dramatic thread. Quidam features the German wheel, banquine, Spanish webs, diabolos, aerial contortion in silk and, of course … two crazy clowns.
