“Toruk: The First Flight,” inspired by James Cameron’s “Avatar,” is a live experience by Cirque du Soleil that envisions a world beyond imagination set thousands of years before the events depicted in the film. The word Toruk, in the Na’vi language, refers to the great leonopteryx, the mighty red and orange predator that rules the Pandoran sky. Central in Na’vi lore and culture, this fascinating creature is crucial to the Na’vi clans’ sense of destiny and interconnectedness, and is about to be ridden for the very first time by a Na’vi.

Tickets start at just $35, and both matinee and evening shows are available.
