RWS' resident circus theatrical show debuts June 17
SINGAPORE: The circus will come to town soon at Resorts World Sentosa (RWS).
The resident show Voyage de la Vie, which will debut on June 17, is a 90-minute made-in-Singapore production, combining gymnastic feats with original music.
The man behind the show has a portfolio of Rolling Stones concerts and Cirque du Soleil's "KA", and he has crafted a production that celebrates Singapore's unique East-meets-West personality.
Voyage de la Vie tells the story of a young man's quest to discover his destiny.
It has dazzling costumes, an original score from Singaporean composer Jonathan Lim and death-defying stunts not seen in other productions.
"There is a gentleman who does a bow and arrow act," said Philip McKinley, director of Voyage de la Vie. "He will stand in the middle of a ring that hurls 16 bows and arrows and he will shoot the arrows at himself. And at the very end, he will shoot an apple off his head with the last arrow. And what's exciting for me also is that the arrows are on fire."
The show boasts of an international cast and crew, with more than 130 people from 16 nationalities. The producers of Voyage de la Vie said a Singaporean has been chosen to play the show's lead.
The show's producers said that over 80 per cent of the cast and crew are local.
There are also plans to bring Voyage de la Vie overseas.
"I've been part of the talks to people in China and other places where we may try and take this show or another version of this show," said Mark Fisher, creative director of Voyage de la Vie. "We really have to see how it goes first. But we have great plans for it if it's successful."
Producers said rehearsals are underway and the cast lineup will be made known later.
Tickets go on sale on Wednesday, starting at S$48 for seats with restricted views. The most expensive tickets are priced at S$188.
