Zarkana is one the newest productions by Cirque Du Soleil. I am not quite sure what the production is about but I have many friends who have seen Cirque Du Soleil productions and they have said nothing but amazing things about them. In this design the outside is dark which draws attentions to the middle of the poster where the arch is. The vines and trees on the edge of the arch signifies life. The light that is pouring out of the doorway is abundant and it casts shadows on the figures walking towards the "man in red". The "man in red" or in my opinion the Ring Master, is the audience he is seeing all the light and interesting people from our point of view. The background also indicated how much there is unknown. The Ring Master can see the lights and clouds but it seems to be concealing more people and objects that we want to find out about. One of the things I like most about this poster is that you have to really look at it and into to see more. Around the edge of the inner arch there are gears in a steam punk design. For me the poster says that there is more under the surface than what you see. That in order to find out the secrets of Zarkana you must walk into the light.
