About Cirque du Soleil

Cirque du Soleil’s top touring shows include Alegría, Quidam, Dralion, Varekai, Cortéo, KOOZÅ, Mystère, “O,” La Nouba, Zumanity, KÀ, and LOVE. Alegría was created for Cirque du Soleil’s 10th anniversary. The show’s main theme is about the abuse of power and the later struggle for freedom; it makes use of darker lighting and music and uses gothic arches and harsh angular designs to try to give the audience a feeling of oppressiveness. Quidam followed Alegría’s lead: bringing darker shows to the big top. Dragone’s concept for this show is the imagination of Zoe, a young, jaded girl; the performers are the materializations of her daydreams. After Franco Dragone and Michel Crête left the company, Caron came up with Dralion, a different style than that of the previous two shows. None within the company were happy with it. In spite of that, the show became one of the company’s top-grossing shows. Cirque du Soleil came out with Varekai in 2002, which was its first touring show in 3 years. “Varekai,” a word from the Romany language, means “wherever;” it was the story of the Greek myth of Icarus. Cortéo is a touring production that started in North America in 2005; the word means “a celebratory procession” in Italian. The story is that of a clown who watches his own funeral proceeding in a carnival-like atmosphere. KOOZÅ was heavily inspired by Middle Eastern culture and uses a “bataclan,” a huge traveling tower, on stage, which moves throughout the show. Mystère was shown at the Treasure Island Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, NV. Cirque du Soleil made a deal with Steve Wynn, Treasure Island’s developer, to make the show permanent there. The concept was an exploration of life’s origins in the universe. The company wanted to do a show performed in water and came up with “O,” the phonetic spelling of the French word for water. Later that year, La Nouba was created and portrayed as a fairy tale. They created Zumanity in 2003, which is centered on erotic song, dance and acrobatics and was intended for mature audiences. KÀ was created and drew on martial arts for its inspiration; the story is of the adventures of a set of imperial twins. For LOVE, they joined the legacy of The Beatles with Cirque du Soleil; there are panoramic views and a cast of 60 international artists.
