Cirque du Soleil
HSBC Premier is the Proud Banking Partner of the Cirque du Soleil© Australian DralionTM Tour.
Project date: July 2008–April 2009
Since its creation in 1984, Cirque du Soleil has entertained more than 80 million spectators in over two hundred different cities on five continents. The company currently has eight touring shows and seven resident shows around the world and will be adding new shows in Los Angeles, Japan, Macao and Dubai in the near future. In 2009, Cirque du Soleil will present 20 shows simultaneously throughout the world.
Dralion is the fifth Cirque du Soleil show to tour Australia. It is the fusion of ancient Chinese circus tradition and the avant-garde style of Cirque du Soleil.
The show's name is drawn from its two main symbols: the dragon, representing the East, and the lion, representing the West. Dralion derives much of its inspiration from Eastern philosophy with its perpetual quest for harmony between humankind and nature.
