WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Cirque du Soleil's new acrobatic spectacle, Zarkana is written and directed by acclaimed film and theatre director François Girard.
Zarkana is a fantastically bizarre world where we follow the adventures of Zark, a magician who has lost his love and, with her, his powers. As he cries and begs for her return he is plunged into a world inhabited by surreal creatures.
The diverse cast of 71 international artists transports the audience into a fantastical and suspenseful world, blurring the boundaries between the real and imaginary.
The name Zarkana is a fusion of the words "bizarre" and "arcana" (arcana means "mystery" or "secret"). The twisted fictional world of Zarkana is an elusive destination that is fantastic yet bizarre. The name refers to the irresistibly odd and delightfully strange aura of this place and its inhabitants.

Bad show
This is a show made up of a bounc of clowns goofing around on stage with a couple of acrobatic acts. And this zarkan guy mumbling some songs under his breath.
I would not recommend this show to anyone.

disappointing
I am angry that I spent more than 30.00 on this ticket..... way more! The music is absolutely forgettable. I couldnt understand was Zark was singing most of the time. It was boring due to poor plot structure. There needed to be some conflict somewhere! If you are thinking of buying tickets, DONT.

Audiences seeking high-flying thrills might want to forgo a trip to Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark and head over to Radio City Music Hall, where Cirque du Soleil is presenting its specially-created show
Zarkana, full of daredevil acrobats, trapeze artists, and even a flying clown to delight those down below.
True, this newest offering from the Canadian-based entertainment conglomerate, written and directed by Francois Girard, isn't Cirque's finest show -- either in execution or conception. (I still have no idea about most of what the magician Zark, played by the soulfully-voiced Paul Bisson, or sultry female vocalist Meetu Chilana were singing about.) But the two hours fly swiftly by.
