Cirque du Soleil takes the viewer into James Cameron's universe, and also showcases the director's trademark, including multimedia projections and a soundtrack ‘with cinematic touches.

The show is narrated by a Na'vi, the name of the indigenous people on the planet Pandora whose story ‘Avatar’ tells. ‘Toruk’ is set thousands of years before the film's intrigue. A disaster threatens to destroy the tree of souls, and two boys from the Omatikaya tribe set out to investigate, along with their new friend Tsyal, from the Toruk, a predator who rules the heavens of Pandora, that it might help them save the tree sacred to the Na'vi.

Artistic direction is in the hands of Guy Laliberté and Jean-François Bouchard for Cirque du Soleil, as well as James Cameron, Jon Landau, Kathy Franklin and Richie Baneham of Lightstorm Entertainment.
