| $10.00 Student Discount to Cirque du Soleil |

Cirque du Soleil is offering Boise State University students a $10.00 discount on select performances of Saltimbanco. Saltimbanco is a characteristic Cirque du Soleil show inspired by urban fabric of the metropolis and its colorful inhabitants. Decidedly baroque in its visual vocabulary, the show’s eclectic cast of characters draws spectators into a fanciful, dreamlike world, an imaginary city where diversity is a cause for hope.
Saltimbanco belongs to the emblematic style of Cirque du Soleil a style that borrows from theatre, dance and music and where spectacular costumes, lighting and make-up take pride of place. Saltimbanco is a fun show for the whole family to enjoy, a great outing for everyone!
Cirque du Soleil will be at Taco Bell Arena on May 21st through May 25th. Student discounts are only available on Thursday the 22nd for the 7:30pm performance and the Friday the 23rd 3:30pm performance.
