The same goes for the concert that combines Circque du Soleil theatrics and music to present a different kind of experience in this part of the World, it shares great attributes and values with the Fayrouz brand that was why we decided to partner Darey on the show. It is indeed a lifelong experience and we are excited to have been part of it”.
