The world-famous Cirque du Soleil will be opening a new production in Tokyo, and its theme is Tarot!
Read on for an excerpt from the Lithgow Mercury, an Australian paper, about Cirque du Soleil's Zed.
"Zed represents Cirque du Soleil’s first venture into Asia and will be staged at the Disney resort’s Theatre Tokyo.
The show was inspired by the world of tarot, drawing its title character from Zed the fool.
As described by the troupe itself : 'Zed is a living poem, a timeless evocation that draws on the Tarot and its arcana, an imaginary world that conjures the vitality of the human condition and holds up a mirror to our true selves. The central, larger-than-life character Zed represents all of humanity in all its guises, from wisdom to folly, from discovery to adventure. Zed grows as he discovers the world on his journey of initiation. Through this undertaking the people of the sky and the people of the earth are trying to connect with each other; through Zed, they come together.'"
