ZED
A living poem at the heart of human adventure
ZED is a Cirque du Soleil escapade at the Cirque du Soleil Theatre in Tokyo, Japan. ZED is a living poem at the heart of human adventure that invokes the vitality of the human condition and holds up a mirror to our true selves. ZED, the central larger-than-life character represents humanity in all its guises, from wisdom to folly, from discovery to adventure. ZED grows as he discovers the world on his journey of initiation. Through this undertaking, the people of the sky and the people of the earth are trying to connect with each other; through ZED, they come together. The world of the Arcana, in which ZED finds his inspiration, teams with life and vibrant characters, including the Great Goddess, The Fool, The Sphinxes and the Satyrs – all engaged in a lyrical odyssey at the heart of human experience.
