'Toruk: The First Flight'

Though the 2018 release date for Avatar 2 leaves Avatar fans impatiently waiting for the next installment, Cirque du Soleil offers a nice treat to tide fans over. Their new show Toruk depicts a world that predates the events in the movie by 1,000 years. See circus performers and acrobats from around the world flip, spin, soar, jump, dance and fly through the fantasy world located on a moon. The story’s main character, Toruk, and Pandoran animals are brought to life through life-size puppets.

Through May 8. $28-$133. U.S. Bank Arena, 100 Broadway St., Downtown, 513-421-4111, usbankarena.com.
