We have embarked on a journey of collaboration with Cirque du Soleil emerging from the shared belief that nature remains the ultimate sensory experience. A love letter to the natural realm of the Highlands, Cirque du Soleil SPIRIT is a call to reconnect with our natural world, and to raise a glass to this realm in which we are all guests.
The collaboration uniquely converges our passion and expertise in whisky craftsmanship with Cirque du Soleil's mastery in the performing arts. This fusion results in an exceptional and unparalleled experience that marries the artistry of both worlds.
Learn more about the story behind Cirque du Soleil SPIRIT, and meet members of Cirque du Soleil's team who share this passion and artistry in their fields.
The Story
"The creative concept is bringing all the various elements together with the ultimate aim of telling this very powerful story, inspired by the highlands, The Macallan Estate and the River Spey."
Susan Gaudreau
Show Director, Cirque du Soleil
Meet The Characters
Davonna
Davonna, fierce spiritual guardian of the Scottish Highlands, takes a young colourist named Ayla under her wing.
Ayla
The daughter of a beloved Master whisky maker, Ayla has striven for years to recreate an elusive shade of red that reminds her of her father and the red chalk he would use in his work.
Craftsmanship
"Every piece of fabric passes through countless hands before it turns into a costume. It involves lots of people bringing their skill and hand work, which could never be replaced by a machine."
James Lavoie
Costume Designer
