Cirque Du Soleil er en visuel blanding af cirkus-artisteri og teaterkoncert, og kompagniet har fejret triumfer over hele verden med deres banebrydende shows. Nu kan magien opleves i 3D-filmen “Cirque du Soleil: Worlds Away”. Filmskaberne James Cameron (“Avatar”, “Titanic”) og Andrew Adamson (“Shrek”, “Narnia”) har lavet en film, som bygger på de ikke mindre end 7 forestillinger, Cirque du Soleil har kørende i Las Vegas netop nu. Andrew Adamson har skabt en ramme, som binder de mest utrolige elementer fra produktionerne sammen til en poetisk fortælling om to elskende, der skal krydse en drømmeverden for at finde sammen igen.

James Cameron er kendt for at lave flotte special effects. Men effekterne her er virkelige: Artisternes rå, fysiske talent bliver der ikke pillet ved. Til gengæld bringer Camerons spektakulære 3D-teknologi tilskueren helt tæt på de smukke og ofte farefulde optrin.

Shakes plods about his duties as party clown, and uses all of his free time getting seriously drunk. Binky, another clown, wins the spot on a local kiddie show, which depresses Shakes even more, and his boss threatens him with unemployment if he can't get his act under control.

Two mimes are preparing for the evening's show, but one of them has got something more sinister in mind.

A satirical dramedy loosely inspired by the infamous UK Miners' strikes; however this time, the fight isn’t in the pits, but on the stage. With his beloved family trade targeted by a right-wing government with a long-standing hatred for the arts, a Mime performer desperately rallies the troops for a silent revolution, vowing to save the art form from facing the final curtain.
