Quidam

Quidam ( kee-DAHM) was the ninth stage show produced by Cirque du Soleil. It premiered in April 1996 and has been watched by millions of spectators around the world. Quidam originated as a big-top show in Montreal and was converted into an arena format beginning with its 2010 tour in North America. It then changed back to the Big Top for a 3-month run in Seoul, South Korea before returning to an arena show for its tour to Oceania. The show performed for the final time in Christchurch, New Zealand on February 26, 2016.

The entire show is imagined by a bored girl named Zoé who is alienated and ignored by her parents. She dreams up the whimsical world of Quidam as a means of escaping the monotony of her life.

The show's title refers to the feature character, a man without a head, carrying an umbrella and a bowler hat. Quidam is said to be the embodiment of both everyone and no one at the same time. According to Cirque du Soleil literature "Quidam: a nameless passer-by, a solitary figure lingering on a street corner, a person rushing past... One who cries out, sings and dreams within us all."

Examples of use of quídam
1. De un armario se pasa a otro, pero todo son armarios; de ser un quídam perplejo se pasa a ser otro, aunque sea en la casa de enfrente (como sucede en Volver a casa y en Laura y Julio). No hay que fiarse de los padres (que pueden no serlo o que pueden ser dos ridículos personajes cuya culpa caerá sobre nosotros: Tonto, muerto, bastardo e invisible), como no hay que fiarse en general de los pisos nuevos, del significado de las palabras, de las letras que las componen... ¿No hay que confiar, en su suma, en lo que llamamos realidad? ¡No hay que hacerlo en lo que ellos llaman realidad, que es muy otra cosa!
