Cirque du Soleil - QUIDAM - in Lisbon

 

24/04/2008 - 11/05/2008

Place of event: The Grand Chapiteau, Alges

Quidam will be visiting Lisbon next spring. Watch this space for more information - you cannot miss it!

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.

A young girl fumes; she has already seen everything there is to see, and her world has lost all meaning. Her anger shatters her little world, and she finds herself in the universe of Quidam. She is joined by a joyful companion as well as another character, more mysterious, who will attempt to seduce her with the marvelous, the unsettling, and the terrifying.

Where? Under the Grand Chapiteau, at Passeio Marítimo de Algés. Tickets from eur.25,00 to 95,00 - Children discounts, wheelchair accessible. More information consult Cirque du Soleil site.

 

TOP 10 PLACES TO GO IN 2008

3. Lisbon

The cheapest capital in Western Europe (according to the 2007 Mercer Consulting survey) is worth a visit not only for its affordability – a huge plus when considering the anemic exchange rate of the U.S. dollar against the Euro these days – but for its dramatic hillside villages, fashionable cobblestone enclaves, and innovative cuisine. No longer just a stopover on the road to Porto, the capital of Portugal is fast becoming Europe’s next “it” city, which means crowds and inflated prices are bound to follow. Visit in 2008 before the buzz signals the hordes, and bask in the medieval streets of the Alfama district, hip boutiques of the Bairro Alto, and the trendy waterfront bars and restaurants in the Docas area. It may be the last year you'll enjoy any solitude in the peak summer season.
