Cirque du Soleil's Totem Arrives In Atlanta

A crew of more than 60 men and women raised the blue and yellow Big Top in Atlantic Station this past Saturday, which means that Cirque du Soleil is officially back in town.

The performance group will debut their newest show "Totem" in Atlanta on next Friday. The show will run from October 26  to December 16, with a special weekend performance tacked on December 18-23. "Totem" is a magical, interpretive performance based on the myths of our origins that traces the evolutionary journey of the human species from its amphibian state to bidpedal stages. The show uses acrobatic language and visuals to explore the story of mankind and explore the links that tie us to other species. More information, pictures and a performance preview can be found on the "Totem" website.

With the holiday season just around the corner, this opening performance is sure to be a great night-out for family and friends visiting for the holidays.

Treat your family to an early Christmas present and get out to see the performance!
