Cirque du Soleil Journey of Man is a celebration of the human spirit that combines the unique artistry and music of Cirque du Soleil with the power of large format film. Filmed on location at various natural and historical landmarks around the world, Cirque du Soleil Journey of Man follows the stages of human development from birth to maturity, with each stage introduced by a Cirque du Soleil act.

A tribe of prehistoric humans confined to their animalistic ways. But then, something special occurs -- a child robed in white (symbolizing an embryonic human) appears and the tribe begins to beat on their drums. More and more powerful beats come representing the first beats of a new heart. A new life.
