Program details

Prepare to be blown away by Zarkana, an acrobatic rock extravaganza from world-renowned Cirque du Soleil. Performed exclusively at the Aria Resort and Casino at CityCenter in Las Vegas, Zarkana blends circus arts with the surreal to create a world where physical virtuosity rubs shoulders with the bizarre and the arcane.


Zark, the ringmaster of an extraordinary circus coming back to life, guides you through an abandoned theatre populated by a motley collection of off-the-wall characters and incomparable acrobats. Among other larger-than-life figures, you will meet the Mad Scientist and his wheel of death, Hocus and Pocus, the anarchic clowns who are dogged by disaster wherever they go, and the Pickled Lady, who tries unsuccessfully to win Zark’s heart.


Tightrope-walking, a flying trapeze, hand balancing and sand painting all combine to achieve an effect that is at once spectacular and highly engaging. This is the circus as you’ve never seen it before, with lashings of the exuberant skills and the panache of a traditional vaudeville show but with a touch of the macabre to keep it decidedly at the cutting edge. Alluring choreography, visually appealing stunts and multimedia spectacles contrive to keep you on the edge of your seat, while the peculiar world inhabited by Zark and his mutant sirens will both captivate and haunt you.


Zarkana is a visual vortex set in a twisted musical and acrobatic fantasy universe where, little by little, chaos and craziness give way to a true celebration.
