Cirque du Soleil Seeks Love Stories for Prize
YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio -- Varekai by Cirque du Soleil will be capturing hearts in Youngstown this Valentine’s from February 12 – 16 at the Covelli Centre. To celebrate its fan love this Valentine’s Day, Varekai wants to hear how your love affair with Cirque du Soleil began and why.
Varekai (meaning ‘wherever’) is the story of the universal wanderer. It is the tale of a young man whose journey into a magical forest inhabited by colourful creatures of astonishing talent is at once extraordinary, seductive and exhilarating. The production pays tribute to the nomadic soul and to the spirit and art of the circus tradition, and to those who quest with infinite passion along the path that leads to Varekai. Through breathtaking acrobatics, magical scenery and enchanting characters, Varekai captures you and transports you to a mystical land where the impossible is possible and where love is the path to rediscovery.
