Delirium is more like a music concert. Most of the music in the show are remixed versions of traditional and well known tracks of previous Cirque du Soleil shows. Also the acts that are performed to these remixed songs often are similar in look and feel as the act of the original show.

Delirium is a urban tale about an ordinary man (Bill) who experiences the issues of a words who is increasingly getting out of sync, believing to be just a dream. He sees reality from inside his own bubble and how it tries to find the balance between the virtualization of life that isolates people and the quest for love and harmony outside the virtual computer worlds.

The??big-top version of the 1996 show Quidam was adapted for arenas and similar concert venues to be able to reach more places and without the need to bring along its own venue with it. Quidam “Arena” is currently touring the world??in this new format.

Quidam is a nameless by-passer, a solitary person who lingers in the shadows ignored by normal people who rush past him without being noticed. Quidam represents nobody and everybody and the deep inner feelings and fears that are part of all of us. The young girl ???Zoe??? finds herself in a world of Quidam, full of anger and pain, trying to escape from it.

Quidam is Classical Latin and means “a certain; pl., some” or “anonymous passerby???.
