FedExForum, Memphis, Tenn.

Cirque du Soleil Saltimbanco comes to Memphis for the first time ever for two shows only. Saltimbanco will perform at 3:30 and 7:30 p.m. today at the FedEx Forumm. Saltimbanco -- from the Italian "saltare in banco," which literally means "to jump on a bench" -- explores the urban experience in all its myriad forms: the people who live there, their idiosyncrasies and likenesses, families and groups, the hustle and bustle of the street and the towering heights of skyscrapers. Between whirlwind and lull, prowess and poetry, Saltimbanco takes spectators on an allegorical and acrobatic journey into the heart of the city. Tickets range from $40 to $90.
