Quidam
by admin on Apr.26, 2009, under Uncategorized
Quidam (pronounced “key-DAHM”) means “a certain; pl., some” or “anonymous passerby” in Classical Latin, and is the ninth show produced and performed by Cirque du Soleil.
Cirque du Soleil’s Quidam.The entire show is imagined by a young girl, named Zoé, a sad and forlorn girl who is alienated and ignored by her parents. She dreams up the whimsical world of Quidam in an attempt to escape her sadness.
The title refers to the feature character, a man without a head, carrying an umbrella and a bowler hat. Quidam is said to be the embodiment of both everyone and no one at the same time. Subtitles at the beginning of the official video state: Quidam: a nameless passer-by, a solitary figure lingering on a street corner, a person rushing past. One who cries out, sings and dreams within us all. – Source: Wikipedia
As with all Cirque du Soleil shows, Quidam is highly entertaining. It’s almost like a Marx Brothers movie…you can watch it 50 times and each time you watch it, you find something new that you didn’t notice before. Highly recommended!
