Young Zoé is bored.  Her parents, distant and apathetic, ignore her. Her life has lost all meaning. Seeking to fill the void of her existence, she slides into an imaginary world—the world of Quidam—where she meets characters who encourage her to free her soul.

Cirque du Soleil will perform “Quidam” at the University of South Alabama Mitchell Center in Mobile and tickets are on sale now for the March 20-24 performances.

Quidam had its world premiere in Montreal under the Big Top in April 1996. Since that time, the production has toured on five continents and been experienced by millions of people. In December 2010, Quidam embarked on a new journey, performing the same captivating production, but now in arenas throughout North America. The international cast features 52 world-class acrobats, musicians, singers and characters.

Show schedules are March 20-24, 2013: Wednesday through Friday at 7:30 p.m., Saturday at 3:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. and Sunday at 1 p.m. and 5 p.m.

Ticket costs are adults $30 to $95; children (12 and under) $24 to $77; military, seniors and students $27 to $81.

Tickets for the general public are available at cirquedusoleil.com/quidam, by phone at 1 800-745-3000 or in person at the Mitchell Center Box Office.
