For the first time in more than a decade, Cirque du Soleil returns to the Twin Cities under its renowned Big Top with BAZZAR, an eclectic homage to the origins and ongoing legacy of the world-famous circus company. The show runs from May 18 – June 16, 2024 under the Big Top outside Mall of America®.
“There’s nothing more fascinating than witnessing the creative process unfold. We’re giving BAZZAR audiences a first-hand look at the energy and excitement that went into creating one of the most artistically innovative companies in the world,” says Johnny Kim, Artistic Director of Cirque du Soleil BAZZAR. “Just like a traditional bazaar, the show radiates a lively energy that perfectly captures the Cirque du Soleil spirit. We’re really looking forward to bringing the show to the Twin Cities for the very first time!”
"We're thrilled to host Cirque du Soleil this spring," says Jill Renslow, Chief Business Development & Marketing Officer at Mall of America. "Their captivating performances will undoubtedly add a touch of magic and excitement to the vibrant atmosphere here at the Mall, providing our visitors with an unforgettable experience."
An eclectic lab of endless invention, Cirque du Soleil BAZZAR features a joyous troupe of acrobats, dancers, and musicians coming together to create an awe-inspiring display. The colorful cast of characters band together in a quirky one-of-a-kind world under the direction of the humorous Maestro. The dynamic company reimagines, rebuilds, and reinvents vibrant scenarios in a setting where audiences can witness first-hand the athletic and artistic magic that birthed Cirque du Soleil.
Created in 2018, BAZZAR is Cirque du Soleil’s 43rd original production. In addition to 12 show-stopping circus acts including Teeterboard, Acro Bike, Trapeze, Fire Manipulation and Hair Hanging, the show also features Mallakhamb – a traditional Indian sport that combines aerial yoga and gymnastics – a Cirque du Soleil first. Before arriving in the United States, BAZZAR amazed audiences in 14 countries including Brazil, Colombia, Egypt, and Dominican Republic.
