  Theater & Performance in San Jose, CA | Cirque du Soleil's 'Delirium' at HP Pavilion
TO FANS of Cirque du Soleil and its boutique-production aesthetic, the prospect of its first-ever Delirium concert tour being presented in hockey arenas must have been akin to discovering that one's favorite sparkling wine is now available at Burger King's self-serve beverage stations.
The typical MO for a traveling Cirque du Soleil show is for a touring company to come to town, set up its tents locally for a few weeks and present a show which offers a take on the circus tradition that both harks back to the form's roots and reflects a New Wave, 21st-century sensibility.
One-off Cirque concerts in 1994 and 2004, done in conjunction with the Montreal Jazz Festival to celebrate the former's 10th and 20th anniversaries, are at the root of Delirium.

 Cirqe du Soleil
Since its beginnings in 1984, Cirque du Soleil has been pleasing the public with a novel show concept that is as original as it is non-traditional; an astonishing, theatrical blend of circus arts and street performance, wrapped up in spectacular costumes and fairyland sets and staged to spellbinding music and magical lighting.
It's this point that is best expressed by the remarkable feats of Cirque du Soleil's lavishly costumed performers, including a uniquely graceful underwater ballet, swooping bungee- cord choreography, two precisely balanced human "statues" in perfect synchronicity, and other wonders that must be seen to be believed.
This 10-year anniversary retrospective made in 1994 highlights the essence of Cirque du Soleil, the amazing energy and spirit that gave birth to the phenomenon and the breathtaking artistry that has captivated and delighted audiences around the world.
