Photos from Cirque du Soleil's 'Avatar' inspired 'Toruk' coming in June
Next month, Cirque du Soleil's Toruk - The First Flight , comes to Atlanta.
Inspired by James Cameron's Avatar, Toruk imagines a world thousands of years before the events depicted in the film.
In the Na’vi language, Toruk refers to the leonopteryx-- the red and orange predator that rules the Pandoran sky which is ridden for the first time by a Na'vi.
Avatar fans will find themselves immersed in the world of the blue-skinned Pandorans in the show, which is Cirque du Soleil's 37th production.
The show will run from June 15 - 19 at the Infinite Energy Arena in Duluth . Tickets range from $34.50 - $125.
