Inspired by James Cameron's Avatar, the Cirque du Soleil touring show TORUK—The First Flight presents a world beyond imagination, set thousands of years before the events depicted in the film. The word "Toruk" (in the language of the Na'vi tribe of Cameron's film) refers to the great leonopteryx, the mighty red and orange predator that rules the Pandoran sky. Central in Na’vi lore and culture, this fascinating creature is crucial to the Na’vi clans’ sense of destiny and interconnectedness and is about to be ridden for the very first time by a Na’vi. The show will defy and delight at the Smoothie King Center. Starting at $66 on Ticketmaster. cirquedesoleil.com for more information.
