The iconic Blue Man Group, known for its trio of blue-painted performers, is bringing its vibrant blend of rhythm, humour, and colour to Spain for the first time. The show will premiere in Gran Canaria on 20th March 2025, in the Big Top used by Cirque De Soleil next to ExpoMeloneras in Maspalomas.
For over thirty years, Blue Man Group has captivated audiences worldwide with its unique fusion of art, music, comedy, and technology. What sets their performance apart is the way it invites the audience to become an integral part of the experience, transcending language barriers and creating a truly multisensory adventure.
Yago Pita, Vice President of Show Operations at Cirque du Soleil Entertainment Group, expressed his enthusiasm about bringing Blue Man Group to Meloneras. "This reinforces our commitment to Gran Canaria as a key market for our productions. Blue Man Group is just the first of many international shows that will grace the Big Top on the island," he said.
A Global Phenomenon with Humble Beginnings
Since its debut at the Astor Place Theatre in New York in 1991, Blue Man Group has expanded to other permanent residences in Boston, Las Vegas, and Orlando, as well as an international residence in Berlin. The group has also embarked on multiple North American and global tours, entertaining over 50 million people worldwide.
In 2017, Blue Man Group became part of the Cirque du Soleil Entertainment Group, enhancing the global reach of the blue performers. The partnership brought together Blue Man Group’s distinct aesthetic, award-winning musical talent, and expertise in immersive experiences with Cirque du Soleil’s creative and production capabilities.
An Immersive Experience for All Ages
The upcoming show promises a euphoric celebration of human connection. The organisers highlight that the appeal of Blue Man Group is universal, enchanting audiences of all ages and cultural backgrounds. Each performance is infused with new music, fresh stories, custom-made instruments, and visually stimulating graphics, ensuring a fresh experience every time.
The Blue Man persona is described as a "man of all eras," acting as a mirror in which the audience can see themselves, prompting them to laugh at their quirks and view the world from a new perspective. The show is more than just three blue men on stage, it is an immersive journey that celebrates the commonalities of human nature, including our curiosity, creativity, and sense of community.
