Cirque du Soleil (French for "Circus of the
Sun") is an entertainment company founded by Guy Laliberté,
a former fire-eater, in 1984 and based in Montreal, Quebec,
Canada. It has several resident and touring troupes and draws
heavily from the circus tradition. Emphasizing the use of humans
as performers, Cirque du Soleil does not make use of animals.
Instead, its performances combine elements of street performances,
circus, opera, and rock music. Acts include contortionists,
jugglers, feats of strength, clowning, and trapeze artists.
Their costumes are very colorful and creative, setting a festive
and lively atmosphere.
Céline Dion's A New Day…, a resident
show in Las Vegas and produced by Franco Dragone (a director
of Cirque du Soleil), was inspired by Cirque du Soleil. However,
it is not a Cirque show.
Cirque du Soleil has produced a number of performance
DVDs and soundtrack CDs; a feature film, Alegría, based
loosely on the live show of the same name; and the IMAX movie,
Journey of Man.
The troupe was inducted into Canada's Walk of
Fame.
