Due to the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami , shows from March 11 through April 20 , 2011 were cancelled . The artists and staff of '' Zed '' were temporarily relocated to Macau where they continued training at Cirque du Soleil 's resident show '' Zaia '' . The major benefit of relocating there was that the team was able to partner with the crews of '' Koozå '' ( which was also relocated from Japan ) and '' Zaia '' at the Macau training facilities . The troupe was able to start performances again on April 23 after a thorough safety inspection of the theatre and facilities had been undertaken
