Culturein 16 weeksTWAS THE NIGHT BEFORE BY CIRQUE DU SOLEIL
Stadsschouwburg Antwerpen
From Sinterklaas to Santa Claus 'Twas the Night Before... is inspired by the classic 19th-century poem 'A Visit from Saint Nicholas' by Clement Clarke Moore, first published in 1823. This poem played a key role in shaping the modern image of Santa Claus: a jolly, rather plump figure who on Christmas Eve travels by sleigh and reindeer -- named Dasher, Dancer, and Donner & Blitzen -- going from house to house to drop gifts down chimneys into stockings hung above the fireplace. The poem built upon the tradition of Sint-Nicolaas, the holy bishop known to us as Sinterklaas. Dutch colonists brought their Sinterklaas traditions to New York, formerly known as New Amsterdam. There, "Sinterklaas" linguistically evolved into "Santa Claus". Cirque du Soleil now brings this rich story to life on stage, giving it a new dimension with spectacular acts that will delight every generation. About the Show Cirque du Soleil productions delight millions of theatergoers around the world each year. With 'Twas the Night Before... the company presents its first full-scale holiday show. Unforgettable lines from this beloved story served as inspiration for Cirque\'s touching tale of a cynical girl who rediscovers the magic of the holiday season. In a festive atmosphere of love and joy, specially created for families, 'Twas the Night Before... brings the breathtaking acrobatics that made Cirque du Soleil world-famous. From a captivating straps duo with aerial acrobatics and spectacular hoop diving, to hair-raising acrobatics that defy gravity and energetic dance -- performed by a cast of 26 artists from around the world.

With something for every member of the family, 'Twas the Night Before... is the perfect introduction for the next generation of theater lovers to the world of Cirque du Soleil.
