Renowned act Cirque de Soleil entertained fans on April 2-4, 2006.

The show, called “Delirium”, adopted the notion of a traveling circus,

allowing the same actors to perform at many venues in short period

of time. Optical illusions and aerial acrobatics amazed the crowd

against the backdrop of an animated carnival. Unlike most of their

other shows, this Cirque de Soleil creation allows patrons to see the

six musicians playing their music and interacting with the high-flying

performers.
