The Greatest Flew Through The Air

It was a sense of pride for all the Anthillers to have been chosen to operate the touring merchandising concession to Cirque Du Soleil's inaugural arena touring show, Delirium, now in it's second year and about to make its European debut in Holland.

And with the announcement that one of the Cirque's most famous touring tent shows, Saltimbanco was being reformatted to tour arenas throughout the world, it was again rewarding to know Anthill is again part of the traveling team.

Last night a captive audience in London, Ontario witnessed the shows debut performance which reinforced for all just why since it's inception Cirque Du Soleil has been considered the most creative and innovative family entertainment in the world. With performers from 19 countries including a cracking band, the show exudes greatness.

With audiences of all ages the products memorializing the show have to be equally formidable. Masks, dolls, dvds, hats plus programs compliments of Quantum and an array of brightly colored shirts from the always ready to please New Buffalo Shirt Factory were all well displayed. And loved by all.

The Saltimbanco tour will bring the wonder of CDS to many markets for the first time. It is not to be missed.
