Delirium (Cirque Du Soleil)
Delirium was a touring multimedia stage show by Cirque du Soleil featuring live music, video projections, and performances by acrobats and other circus performers. The production featured remixes of existing Cirque du Soleil music. The show premiered on February 26, 2006 and had its final performance in London, England on April 20, 2008.
Delirium was the first of Cirque du Soleil's productions designed to be presented in arenas; all the company's previous stage productions had been toured with their own large, custom-built tent (referred to as the 'big top' or 'grand chapiteau') or were permanent shows performed in specially designed theatres. Delirium, as Cirque du Soleil's first significant experiment with arena venues, eventually helped pave the way for the company's subsequent show-by-show conversion of its older big top productions (e.g. Saltimbanco, AlegrÃa, Quidam and Dralion) to a more cost-effective arena format.

“There is in every madman a misunderstood genius whose idea, shining in his head, frightened people, and for whom delirium was the only solution to the strangulation that life had prepared for him.”
