ZAİA™ is the dream of a young girl who journeys into space on a strange, yet familiar voyage of self-discovery. As she travels, she encounters the beauty of humanity and eventually brings it back with her to share with the inhabitants of earth.

ZAİA presents a young girl's perception of the stars and planets, space and infinity, all populated by a panoply of fantastic, literally out-of-this-world creatures. The title, ZAİA, comes from a Greek name meaning "life" and is also reminiscent of "Gaia", the living, self-aware, spirit of earth.

ZAİA is a show that highlights dance, movement and aerial acrobatics, soaring to the farthest reaches of space and human beauty.

This brand new 90-minute mega-production will bring together 75 high-calibre artists from all around the world. Presented in one of the most impressive theatres ever created by Cirque du Soleil ^®, the show will immerse 1,800 spectators in an unforgettable experience.
