Cirque Du Soleil's 'TOTEM' To Open In October In LA

STUDIO CITY (CBSLA.com) — Cirque Du Soleil is celebrating a brand new show called TOTEM.

Eric Hernandez from the show visited the KCAL9 studios Wednesday to discuss the production  which traces the fascinating journey of the human species from its original amphibian state to its ultimate desire to fly.

Inspired by many founding myths, TOTEM illustrates, through a visual and acrobatic language, the evolutionary progress of species. Somewhere between science and legend, TOTEM explores the ties that bind Man to other species, his dreams and his infinite potential.

The show will run in Los Angeles from Oct. 2013 to March 2014.

-Port of Los Angeles – San Pedro: Opens October 11th

-Irvine: Opens November 21st at the Orange County Great Park Festival Site
