Toruk – The First Flight

Cast your mind back the best part of a decade, and you may distantly recall James Cameron’s ‘Avatar’, aka the most successful film of all time. All manner of sequels have been promised, but none have actually emerged yet. But here comes a circus spin-off: Cirque du Soleil’s arena-touring latest is set on ‘Avatar’s alien world of Pandora, and follows two Omatikaya boys who go on a quest to rescue the Tree of Souls. That means nothing to us, and we’ve seen ‘Avatar’, but basically it should look spectacular, and hopefully have a slightly more stirring plot than the clowning-based shows they take to the Royal Albert Hall atthe top of the year.
