Toruk – The First Flight” is a live stage production that combines the use of puppetry and high quality visuals to bring to life “Avatar” like never before. With Cirque du Soleil’s signature artistic vision and the touch of directors Michel Lemieux and Victor Pilon, this show truly captures the Na’vi’s relationship with nature, as well as the belief that all living things are connected.
