East Meets West with Cirque Du Soleil’s 'Dralion'

Cirque du Soleil is back in San Diego for another spectacular show.

What happens when you put a dragon and lion together? You get Cirque du Soleil’s latest show Dralion.

The 3,000 year old art of Chinese acrobatics joined forces with Canadian based artistic group, Cirque du Soleil to bring Dralion. The show premieres Thursday at the Valley View Casino Center.

The show’s name, Dralion, represents the fusion of two animals—the dragon representing the east, and a lion from the west. Inspired by eastern philosphy, Dralion hopes to find harmony between humans and nature.
