Crystal brilliance

World-class ice skaters and acrobatics of Cirque du Soleil took to the ice at the WFCU Centre in Windsor on Wednesday during the opening night of the one-of-a-kind ice show Crystal.

Cirque du Soleil’s first exhibition on ice tells the story of the lead character Crystal — an exhilarating tale of self discovery as she dives into a world of her own imagination to become what she was destined to be: confident, liberated and empowered. 

Audiences are invited to feels the adrenalin as Crystal soars through this surreal world at high speed — challenging the laws of gravity with never-before-seen acrobatics that challenge the laws of gravity. 

Crystal continues with WFCU shows Thursday and Friday at 7:30 p.m., Saturday 3:30 and 7:30 p.m. and Sunday at 1 and 5 p.m.
