Cirque du Soleil’s urban experience starts tonight

Cirque du Soleil presents Saltimbanco, from the Italian for “saltare in banco,” or “to jump on a bench.” Colorful acrobats take spectators on an urban journey through bustling streets and towering skyscrapers of an imaginary city where diversity is a cause for hope. Five performances at the River Center, starting tonight through Friday. Tickets start at $28 for children under 12 and $35 for adults via ticketmaster.com.
