Wintuk is an exciting winter adventure about a boy's quest for snow.
This celebration of winter weaves thrilling acrobatics, breathtaking theatrical effects and memorable songs into an extraordinary journey to an imaginary land called Wintuk. The boy and his companions – a mysterious female shaman, a fearless young girl and a yellow-bellied man – deliver endless excitement, exhilaration and intrigue.
The show is playful, musical, and bursts with the energy of the city and the magic of a wonderland. This seasonal story, which features a cast of 50 performers from Cirque du Soleil, will have the whole family wishing for snow.
This year, Wintuk is back in the heart of the city with a mind-blowing new trampoline act and astounding puppet creations by Michael Curry. Power Track is a daring, high-speed, precision-choreographed trampoline act that pushes the very definition of acrobatics to the limits in a jaw-dropping, heart-stopping routine. What's more, Michael Curry has created a collection of captivating puppet characters that will enchant and enthrall the whole family. Audiences from Broadway to the Olympic Games, from Las Vegas to La Scala, all know that Michael Curry's name guarantees visual treats of the highest order. Last but not least, Cirque du Soleil has added even more wonder and adventure to the story with riveting new elements of suspense and intrigue, and surprising twists, turns and reversals.
Breathtaking artistry, eye-candy color, astonishing acrobatics and a fabulous adventure. Over half a million people saw Wintuk in its premiere season, and as the show evolves, it will take its place at center stage, as a proud new addition to New York's great holiday traditions.
