Running from January 4 to January 17, the 2-hour show is set in the fictional world of Pandora and will be narrated by a Na’vi storyteller. It depicts a tale set three thousand years before the events of the Avatar film, with Cameron himself giving the green light on the project.

Cirque du Soleil is well-known for their elaborate productions, and this show looks to be no different. Check out the trailer of the show below:
