In glittering costumes spun of gold, an ethereal group of
performers leap across the set tumbling aboard an elongated
trampoline embedded in the stage. Like medievals warriors
penetrating the depths of a mythical forest, the tumblers not only
demonstrate their undeniable acrobatic prowess and strength, but also
their grace in a dance whose manner is unique to Cirque du Soleil.

The Syncro Trapeze artists give way to a group of energetic,
swift moving acrobats spun in silver and gold ("The Bronx").
The stage opens up to reveal a fantasic display of athleticism
and gymnastic ability as the artists tumble about.
Accompanying the powerful Fast Track act is the song "Irna"
that includes a synthesizer bass line with the other instruments
intertwining with the basic theme. On the CD, a brass section
offers an off-beat blast that is uncommon for Cirque du Soleil
music. During the show, the "Irna" frenzy halts and the fast
track becomes a ballet track with the song "Valspena" that once
again features a passionate vocal performance by Francesca.
Joining The White Singer for the first time is her alter ego, The
Black Singer, played by Eve Montpetit. Their harmony on this
beautiful theme is spine tingling. But, just as the listener is
lulled into a trance, "Irna" returns with more power to complete
the Fast Track act's climax.
