About the show

Fusing the 3,000-year-old tradition of Chinese acrobatic arts with the multidisciplinary approach of Cirque du Soleil, Dralion (pronounced “Dra-lee-on”) draws its inspiration from Eastern philosophy and its never-ending quest for harmony between humans and nature.

The show’s name is derived from its two emblematic creatures: the dragon, symbolizing the East, and the lion, symbolizing the West.

In Dralion, the four elements that govern the natural order take on a human form.

Thus embodied, each element is represented by its own evocative colour: air is blue, water is green, fire is red, earth is ochre.

In the world of Dralion, cultures blend, Man and Nature are one, and balance is achieved.
