Tickets for Cirque Du Soleil in San Francisco

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.
