The history of humankind is quite a long story. Nonetheless, Cirque du Soleil set out to tell it as this new show makes its way to Adelaide.

Taking our amphibious forebears as its starting point and tracing our transformation to a species now mastering flight and space travel, this is the story of evolution with more glitter and acrobatics than ever before. Directed and written by the well-loved and respected Robert Lepage, the expansive work features 46 performers from 17 countries who weave themes of interconnectedness and hope for the future into the story.
