TORUK- The First Flight is a new show from Cirque du Soleil – a live immersive multimedia spectacle that brings to the stage the breathtaking world of James Cameron’s AVATAR like you have never seen it before. Narrated by a “Na’vi Storyteller” and populated by unforgettable characters, the show is a mythical tale set thousands of years before the events depicted in AVATAR, and before any humans ever set foot on Pandora.
