Zarkana by Cirque du Soleil is an acrobatic rock experience that blends circus arts with the surreal to create a world where physical virtuosity rubs shoulders with the strange.
Zark, the ringmaster of an extraordinary circus coming back to life, guides us in an abandoned theatre populated by a motley collection of off-the-wall characters and incomparable acrobats. Among other attractions, he introduces the Mutants, four sirens as sinister as they are fabulous.
Zarkana is a visual vortex set in a twisted musical and acrobatic fantasy universe where, little by little, chaos and craziness give way to a true celebration.

 Character

Zark is a magician who returns to the abandoned theatre where he was successful several years earlier. His friends the White Clowns come out of hiding to try and help him put a show together, but nothing works the way he wants: His magic powers are out of control because Lia is missing. Lia was Zark’s assistant, but above all, she was the love of his life. Without her, there can be no magic.




Lia was Zark’s assistant, but above all, she was the love of his life. Without her, there can be no magic.



Hocus and Pocus are two anarchists who can't help but cause trouble. Hocus and Pocus serve as Zark's assistants. Ill-suited for their jobs, they continually fail to perform even the smallest tasks. Often, their mistakes have considerable consequences, such as an exploding cane or an accidental cannon flight. Their antics reach a peak when they attempt to perform their own trick with an Electric Chair!





Fifteen White Clowns are part of a small gallery of eclectic characters that populate the world of Zarkana, including: The Mad Scientist, assisted by his apprentice, is dedicated to experiments that are strange, to say the least: His Pickle Jar gives birth to the Pickled Lady, and his cannon sends Pokus on a flight to another planet. And then there’s his quantum machine…. TI-BOSS is a spoiled little girl. She has a whip and behaves like a veritable "clown tamer." The JOVIANS are the extraterrestrial creatures who live on the planet Jovia. THE ORACLE communicates with the past and the future.
