Spectators will recognize iconic football features like the lines of the pitch, the center circle and full-sized goals, yet abstract and not as they have seen them ever before. In addition to what fans might expect at a game, the design incorporates surprise features, such as trapdoors, a mechanical arm and two huge video screens, just to mention a few of the surprises in the set. At eight feet tall and thirty-six feet long, the mammoth LED screens will not only feature archive footage of Messi’s greatest moments, but also unique exclusive footage captured of the great man himself, recorded especially to enrich several significant moments of the show.

Fans will experience a theatre with a lot of color and striking, architectural lighting that cast a dramatic mood over a unique stage, custom-created for the show’s nontraditional acrobats and artists. It is the perfect environment to witness the fundamental physical and mental principles of the world’s most loved game, expressed in the most extreme and exceptional way, as only Cirque du Soleil can.
