The energy was palpable on Tuesday when a small crowd was treated to a preview of the upcoming show Quidam at the Renaissance Hotel in Dupont Circle.  Quidam,  the latest installment from Cirque du Soleil to drift into the District,  is a mix of dance, acrobatics, skipping rope and the usual fantasy and  freedom that all Cirque shows embody.
The show is a Cirque classic  revamped for today's audience and will feature a live band on stage in  addition to many traditional favorites for old fans and new alike.
