The Worms are born with nothing at the base of society--they long to attain the level of the Baroque, a group of enlightened visionaries. Through a series of eye-popping routines, the Baroque give insight into the contradictions of human civilization. Full of amazing acrobatics to astound the entire family, Cirque du Soliel's SALTIMBANCO is a phantasmagorical antidote to the violence and despair of modern society.
