Cirque du Soleil has been bringing so many shows to Oregon in recent years that it's starting to feel like this is a second home for the French-Canadian circus company. Next week, Cirque returns yet again with "Quidam," one of its older productions that's never been shown here.
"Quidam," which begins a six-performance run at Eugene's Matthew Knight Arena on Thursday, was originally created in 1996 as one of Cirque's first touring shows, and is considered by many to be one of its masterpieces. Over the years, it's toured the globe and has been performed on five continents. In 2010, the show was adapted into an arena show, which allows it to play shorter runs without the massive caravans of trucks that are needed to present the tent shows.
