According to the Cirque du Soleil, Quidam celebrates "the nameless person living lost amidst the crowd" who "cries out, sings, and dreams within us all".

After performances at the Royal Albert Hall, Quidam will embark on a UK arena tour, visiting Liverpool, Belfast, Newcastle, Birmingham, Sheffield, Glasgow and Manchester.
