[1] Quidam originated as a big-top show in Montreal and was converted into an arena format beginning with its 2010 tour in North America.

[2] It then changed back to the Big Top for a 3-month run in Seoul, South Korea before returning to an arena show for its tour to Oceania.

According to Cirque du Soleil literature "Quidam: a nameless passer-by, a solitary figure lingering on a street corner, a person rushing past... One who cries out, sings and dreams within us all.

"[1] The minimalistic stage was designed by Michel Crête to represent a monolithic structure such as an airport or train station where people are always coming and going.

[1] The original Quidam stage was redesigned and incorporated into the Bazzar (Cirque du Soleil) grand chapiteau tour.

[6] Quidam's costume designer, Dominique Lemieux, drew inspiration from Surrealist art, particularly the works of René Magritte and Paul Delvaux.

[1] Quidam’s music was composed by Benoît Jutras and has been released in three album editions featuring additional songs, alternative new cover designs, and higher quality sounds.

During the show's stops in cities, the tour bus makes appearances at local merchants, allowing people to meet part of the crew.
