Dralion is an unprecedented fusion of ancient Chinese acrobatic traditions and the avant-garde approach of Cirque du Soleil. It is a contemporary collage of the original and the eclectic, the primitive and the post-modern. Dralion is a celebration of life and derives much of its inspiration from Eastern philosophy with its principles of perpetual discovery and harmony between man and nature.

The show's name is drawn from its two main symbols — the dragon, representing the East, and the lion, representing the West - and pays homage to the four elements that maintain the natural order: air, water, fire and earth. Dralion propels these four pillars of the universe, which take on human form and rule worlds defined by their individual vivid colors, into a futuristic dimension - a timeless and allegorical place, ruled my magical laws.

Suspended in time between the past and the future, here, the iridescent colors of the costumes are reflected in the metallic glints of a decor straight out of the cinéma fantastique. The musical score simultaneously borrows from traditional sources while entering an electro-symphonic realm of a world yet to come. Innovation soars to new heights as it defies the laws of nature.

Dralion is Cirque du Soleil at its purest, a dynamic performance that seems to transcend the boundaries of the imagination and lead us into a dreamscape with a new and sparkling perspective.
