Za’u! [Come] see what is happening in and behind the moon of Pandora as Cirque du Soleil opens its mega-show, #Toruk, to media in #Hartford. I hope these images speak to you much like the ancestors speak to the Na’vi. A big Irayo! [thanks] to my friends on the Toruk tour. Safe travels.

About TORUK- The First Flight
The setting is several thousand years before James Cameron’s blockbuster movie, AVATAR, as we join the Na’vi clans in a time of crisis and possible extinction. TORUK – The First Flight transports you to the world of Pandora in a visually stunning and immersive live setting. Experience a storytelling odyssey as three young friends set out on an adventure across the lands of five Na’vi clans in search of valuable elements as they chart their destiny with the fierce Toruk.
Through a riveting fusion of cutting-edge technologies, visuals, puppetry and stagecraft buoyed by a soaring cinematic score, Cirque du Soleil applies its unique signature style to James Cameron’s imaginary world and “makes the bond” between two kindred artistic visions that capture the imagination.
