The newest arena show from Cirque du Soleil, Dralion, will dazzle audiences eight times from Wednesday, March 30, to Sunday, April 3, at the Wells Fargo Arena in Des Moines.

Dralion is the fusion of ancient Chinese circus traditions and the avant-garde style of Cirque du Soleil. The name is drawn from its two main symbols: the dragon, representing the East, and the lion, representing the West. Dralion derives much of its inspiration from Eastern philosophy with its perpetual quest for harmony between humankind and nature. The international cast features 52 world-class acrobats, gymnasts, musicians, singers and comedic characters.
