The third ring is used to move performers through the world of Dralion.
The second is used to support technical and acrobatic equipment, including the enormous lantern that descends at the end of the first half of the show. The first serves as a catwalk for performers and technicians. Three concentric aluminum rings are suspended high above the stage. The six giant claws attached to the structure allow artists to climb and suspend themselves from the wall. Covered with perforated aluminum tiles, the wall is strong and resilient while giving the impression of being light and flexible.

The most imposing feature is the wall which spans the full length of the stage. This metallic set piece is 60 feet wide and 26 feet tall, and is suggestive of a futuristic Chinese temple or a giant plate of medieval armor. Set & Technical Information Ī mammoth structure creates the huge backdrop that dominates the stage. In the world of Dralion, cultures blend, man and nature are one, and balance is achieved. Thus embodied, each element is represented by its own evocative color: air is blue, water is green, fire is red, and earth is ochre. In the show, the four elements that govern the natural order take on a human form. The show's name is a portmanteau of its two emblematic creatures: the dragon (east), and the lion (west). It draws inspiration from Eastern philosophy and its never-ending quest for harmony between humans and nature. Dralion fuses the 3,000 year-old tradition of Chinese acrobatic arts with the multidisciplinary approach of Cirque du Soleil.
