Cirque du Soleil: Worlds Away (2012)

Two young people journey through the dreamlike worlds of Cirque du Soleil to find each other.

Director and the writer of the play is Andrew Adamson. Erica Linz, Dallas Barnett and Lutz Halbhubner are starring in the flick with genre fantasy.

SYNOPSIS: The sand of the rink gives way and she follows him down the rabbit hole, as it were, into a parallel universe where she meets that madly prancing clown (John Clarke). He escorts her through a series of fantastical realms populated by trampolining superheroes, riderless tricycles and giant double-jointed spiders from the company’s Las Vegas shows, including O, Mystere, Believe and Viva Elvis (blessedly, no Michael Jackson – The Immortal World Tour, as that would be just weird.)

As she wanders through these dreamscapes clutching a poster of The Aerialist to her chest, Linz alternates eye-widening with theatrical brow-furrowing. Let’s just say that as an actress, she’s a good acrobat, which is made clear in the gorgeously romantic finale.

The brow-furrowing is understandable, though, as, like most abstractedly mystical Cirque stage shows, the action follows the logic of a dream.

Bland, synthetic world muzak rotates with peppier tunes from Elvis and The Beatles, adding to the sense of disconnect between the differently themed vignettes, which Adamson shot at various Las Vegas stage shows.

Still, the unifying accomplishment is in the giddy acrobatics, sleek sensuality and heart-stopping derring-do of the performers, as well as the constantly sumptuous, transportingly immersive cinematography.

It is mainly shot in USA and Canada. It’ll be in theaters from 21 of December 2012 in USA and from 1^st of February 2013 in UK.
