Since starting out on the streets of Quebec in the early 1980s, Cirque du Soleil has achieved success on a global scale and now the modern day circus returns to London's Wembley Arena with one of their longest running touring shows, Saltimbanco, performed worldwide since 1992. The name, Saltimbanco, comes from the Italian "saltare in banco", which literally means "to jump on a bench" and the show explores the urban experience from the families on the streets to the skyscrapers above. An imaginary city is the backdrop for the jumps, leaps and gravity-defying aerobatics that are their signature style. Highly polished acrobatics and theatrical showiness coupled with their consummate precision and elegance still draws unbelieving gasps from audiences. The stunts are all very traditional big top acts with a cast of over 50 performing plate spinning and hula-hoop routines, balancing acts and juggling, while the striking lighting design makes the costumes and sets come alive in a vivid and ever-changing array of colours.About Wembley Arena
This is London's second largest indoor arena after The O2, and though the building lacks the character of some of the older venues, the sheer scale of the place makes Wembley Arena an exciting place to watch a gig. Located opposite Wembley Stadium, Wembley Arena has hosted concerts by some of the world's most famous artists, including The Beatles, Rod Stewart, ABBA, The Cure, Spice Girls, Beyonce, Bob Dylan, Pearl Jam and many more.
