Cirque Du Soleil - Twas The Night Before

Cirque Du Soleil - Twas The Night Before at Fox Theatre - Detroit

Imagine trying to explain a holiday show to someone and having to say, 'There are aerial artists, hoop divers and a person suspended by their hair.' 'Twas the Night Before… by Cirque du Soleil isn't a typical Christmas outing, and that's precisely its charm. Twenty-six artists use their extraordinary skills to tell a story about a girl who has forgotten how to enjoy the season. Instead of another predictable retelling, the show makes physical surprise part of its emotional appeal.

What happens when Cirque du Soleil turns their artistic lens on a classic Christmas tale? 'Twas the Night Before… by Cirque du Soleil draws on Clement Clarke Moore's beloved poem A Visit from Saint Nicholas, tracing the journey of a jaded young girl as she rediscovers the wonder that slipped quietly away. Cirque's first holiday show puts a seasonal story alongside the company's physical artistry.

On Wednesday, December 23, the 4:00 PM performance at Detroit's Fox Theatre gives you an afternoon break from the rush toward Christmas. The soundtrack reinvents familiar seasonal music, so there's something recognizable beneath the daring movement. Invite a friend who loves spectacular performance or bring family members who need a shared outing that feels different from everything else on the calendar. Look into seats for this Cirque performance and let anticipation become part of the holiday fun.
