Written and Directed by Dominic Champagne
Varekai is a critically-acclaimed production that has wowed
over 8 million people worldwide since it first premiered in
Montreal in 2002. Since then, Varekai has visited more than
72 cities in 20 different countries around the world.
Deep within a forest, at the summit of a volcano, exists
an extraordinary world where something else is possible.
A world called Varekai.
The sky lets go a solitary young man, and the story of Varekai
begins. Parachuted into the shadows of a magical forest,
a kaleidoscopic world imbued with fantastical creatures, a
young man takes flight in an adventure both absurd and
extraordinary. On this day at the edge of time, in this place of
pure and undiluted possibility, begins an inspired incantation
to a life rediscovered and to a newly found wonder in the
mysteries of the world and the mind.
The word Varekai (pronounced ver·ay·’kie) means “wherever”
in the Romany language of the gypsies—the universal
wanderers. Written and directed by Dominic Champagne,
this production pays tribute to the nomadic soul, to the spirit
and art of the circus tradition, and to those who quest with
infinite passion along the path that leads to Varekai.
Varekai emerges from an explosive fusion of drama and
acrobatics. The impossible becomes possible in stunning
displays of skill and power set against innovative music
and otherworldly sets, interwoven with vivid choreography
that speaks to all in the universal language of movement.
The pendulum of time sweeps backward, paying tribute to
the ancient and rare circus traditions of Icarian games and
Georgian dance. Varekai then catapults to the future with
revolutionary twists on such acts as Russian Swings and
Slippery Surface.
Varekai features an international cast of 50 performers and
musicians from 19 different countries.
