Cirque du Soleil hold dress rehearsal of Messi10 show in Barcelona

Cirque du Soleil's 47 artists hailing from 15 countries will perform in the first show dedicated to the football star Lionel Messi 'Messi10'. The 90-minute show "tells the the story of a young man born with great ambition and capable of overcoming any obstacle and also wants to become the best number 10 in the world." The performance troupe have recreated the surroundings of a football stadium with a total of four tents of 12,000 meters squared, even allowing audience members to virtually communicate with the player. Upon the conclusion of a 32-show run in Catalonia, Cirque du Soleil will embark on a world tour.
