Séptimo Día - No Descansaré (stylized as Sép7imo Día) was a touring arena show by Cirque du Soleil, inspired by the music of Argentinian band Soda Stereo.[1]

Acts

Music

Tour

Séptimo Día unusually began its arena tour in Argentina (instead of in Montreal, where Cirque du Soleil's touring shows usually premiere), as it was the country of origin of the band Soda Stereo, on which the show's concept was based.
