Cirque du Soleil has been invited to participate in the Opening Ceremony of the first ever FIFA event to be held in this region - FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup Azerbaijan 2012. This was announced by the Association of Football Federations of Azerbaijan. The ceremony will take place at the Tofig Bahramov Stadium in Baku on September 22.
Cirque du Soleil will perform an exclusive 7 minute performance specially created for the Opening Ceremonies of the event. The thematic idea for the performance is inspired by three main sources: the elemental theme of earth, water, air and fire; the cultural and ornamental symbols of Azerbaijan and the celebratory spirit of the game.
Dancers, acrobats and volunteers will pay tribute to ancient customs of Azerbaijan by using Azerbaijan culture, football and sport in their performance. The 7 minute act will also feature original score inspired by traditional Azerbaijan music and the signature sound of Cirque du Soleil.
Baku is a vibrant city and Cirque du Soleil is working closely with local volunteers and talents to make the best of this unique performance. The Opening Ceremonies of the FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup Azerbaijan 2012 will be broadcasted live on television throughout the world in 105 countries.

Mud volcanism is one of the most interesting natural geological phenomena on the Earth. Some geological, hydrogeological, and tectonic factors lead to the formation of mud volcanoes. When mixtures of gas, water, and some sediments expel at the surface of the Earth, and this process continues for a long period of time, then these mixtures take different external morphological shapes, and create mud volcanoes.
