With ‘Messi10’, Cirque du Soleil is not only reimagining football, but also circus
Quebecer company premieres a show in Barcelona for the first time
As the company that helped redefine contemporary circus, the Cirque du Soleil is now pushing the boundaries of the art even further with ‘Messi10’, a spectacle exploring the world of football through the Argentinian star and interacting with the audience at never-before seen levels.
With still one month to go, preparations are in full-swing in Barcelona’s Parc del Forum, where the circus will open its doors on October 10—the first time the Quebecer company premieres one of its shows in Catalonia or Spain.
The company has hailed ‘Messi10’ as one of its most challenging works to date, with an equally ambitious setting.
