This week Fresno’s Save Mart Center will come alive in a very unique way.

The floor where Fresno State basketball players usually shoot jump shots will transform into an enchanted forest, complete with a volcano and fantastical creatures performing dazzling feats.

It’s all part of Varekai– the tour by Cirque du Soleil which is performing in Fresno tomorrow through Sunday. The production then moves up Highway 99 to Bakersfield for a run between April 1st and April 5th. Vanessa Napoli with the company joined Valley Edition this week to talk about the tour.
