“Cirque Dreams Jungle Fantasy” will take audiences on an all-new soaring adventure when performing at The Fox Theatre in Atlanta this weekend.

In the spirit of the successful international touring sensations “Cirque Ingenieux” and “Cirque Dreams” comes the latest reinvention of theatrical circus artistry from Cirque Productions, “Cirque Dreams Jungle Fantasy,” a colorful dream in an enchanted forest performed on stage and in the air. An international cast of graceful aerialists, spine bending contortionists, vine swinging characters, strongmen and balancers bring this jungle dream to life in a lush, Broadway setting filled with wildly unpredictable designs, special effects, inventive choreography, puppeteering and dazzling costumes. Imaginative theatrics combined with world-class acrobatics make “Cirque Dreams Jungle Fantasy” an exhilarating journey the entire family can experience together.

Produced by Cirque Productions and Artistic Director Neil Goldberg, “Cirque Dreams Jungle Fantasy” is a nonstop, action-packed two hour adventure performed in two acts that stretches the imagination beyond the realm of possibilities, and brings seemingly impossible feats to the stage.

Goldberg’s signature style of inventive acrobatics, unique costumes and creative choreography is enhanced by a clever original musical score that heats up the jungle and presents some of the most striking visual and special effects ever on stage. The whimsical jungle creatures and loose-limbed acrobatic characters of “Cirque Dreams Jungle Fantasy” will leap from the depths of imagination beyond the dreams of audiences.
