Cirque du Soleil presents a special celebration of South Florida and football as part of the Super Bowl pre-game show. Inspired by Brazilian street theatre, sixty professional performers and hundreds of students invade the stadium with a high-energy extravaganza of music, dance, gymnastics and circus arts linked by a splashy, multicolored football theme.

The objective of the performance is to heighten the excitement of the game and encourage the fans to root for their teams. The performance will focus on the spirit of competition as two groups of percussionists in stylized team colors perform powerful acrobatic choreography to energize and inspire the players and the audience.

Palm trees, ocean waves, fishes, helmets, footballs, birds and flowers share a unifying visual signature by renowned pop-artist Romero Britto, and Grammy Award composer/performer Louie Vega supplies the red-hot music in a shimmering setting that climaxes with gigantic images portraying the rival team colors and emblems.

The Cirque du Soleil team will include Fernand Rainville, Director of Creation, Patricia Ruel, Creator of Costumes and Accessories, Geneviève Dorion-Coupal, Choreographer and Daniel Cola, Acrobatic Coach.
