The critically-celebrated international entertainment group Cirque du Soleil is to bring for the first time ever in Belgrade its vibrant signature production Saltimbanco. This timeless Cirque du Soleil opus will be performing for a series of exclusive shows in Belgrade from 24th till 28th of November at the Belgrade arena.

Saltimbanco is Cirque du Soleil's longest-running touring show and has performed since 1992 to wide-spread acclaim to sell-out audiences in Europe, North and South America, Australia, Japan, and New Zealand for more than 11.5 million enthusiastic fans.

Classic Cirque du Soleil at its best, Saltimbanco is a thrilling and kaleidoscopic celebration of awe inspiring artistry and agility. With a cast of 50 high-caliber artists hailing from 20 different countries, Saltimbanco features breathtaking acrobatics and unbelievable athleticism during solo spotlights and epic ensembles. Full of colour, amusement and amazement, Saltimbanco is a fun show for the whole family to enjoy.

Currently touring in Europe, transporting Saltimbanco from city to city is a mammoth task. The equipment on tour, including the set and stage equipment, costumes totals 360,000 pounds (180 tons) and is transported in 16 semi-trailers. All costumes, including headpieces and shoes, are custom-made for the each individual performer at the Cirque du Soleil workshops in Montreal, Canada. The artists wear three to five different costumes during each performance and more than 2,500 costume pieces including 250 pairs of shoes travel from city to city in 50 road cases.
