630CHED Festivals and Events

		Time / Location
10/8 - 2/19	Titanic: The Artifact Exhibition 630 CHED and the Telus World of Science are excited to bring you the story of the most famous ship in the world, a story that has been told and retold, but never before like this. Real artifacts- recovered from nearly 4 km below the ocean- tell Titanic's fateful tale along with the stories of the souls who journey with her into history. The Exhibition has been designed with a focus on the legendary RMS Titanic's compelling human stories as best told through almost 200 authentic artifacts and extensive room re-creations. Perfume from a maker who was travelling to New York to sell his samples, china etched with the logo of elite White Star Line, even the Ship's whistle -- these and many other authentic objects offer haunting, emotional connections to lives abruptly ended or forever altered. Visitor are quickly drawn back in time to 1912 upon entrance, as each receives a replica boarding pass of an actual passenger aboard Titanic. They then begin their chronological journey through the life of the Titanic, moving through the ship's construction, to life on board, to the ill-fated sinking and amazing artifacts rescue efforts. In the "Memorial Gallery" guests will take their boarding pass to the memorial wall and discover whether their passenger and travelling companions survived or perished. Please note: Titanic is a timed ticket Exhibition with a separate admission price. Details to be released shorty. Click here for more information	Daily, at Telus World of Science

8/8 - 8/12	Cirque Du Soleil Quidam 630 CHED, Northlands and the Cirque du Soleil is pleased to announce that the critically-acclaimed production Quidam will be performing in Edmonton from August 8 - 12, 2012 at Rexall Place for a limited engagement. Quidam had its world premiere in Montreal under the Big Top in April 1996. Since that time, the production has toured on five continents and been experienced by millions of people. In December 2010, Quidam embarked on a new journey, performing the same captivating production, but now in arenas throughout North America. The international cast features 52 world-class acrobats, musicians, singers and characters. Young Zoé is bored; her parents, distant and apathetic, ignore her. Her life has lost all meaning. Seeking to fill the void of her existence, she slides into an imaginary world— the world of Quidam—where she meets characters who encourage her to free her soul.
