Awaken the Serpent!
|
On June 14, 2008, "The Awakening of the Serpent", a parade imagined and conceived by
the Cirque du Soleil Events team working under Jean-François Bouchard's creative
supervision, made its debut at Expo Zaragoza 2008. This very special pageant,
an inspired allegory touching on the themes of rain and water, employed 82 performers
(one musician - a didgeridoo - and two live singers) around a serpet-shaped, water-
themed float close to 30 meters long.
The poetry of the parade and its amazing acrobatic performances, was presented
daily at 12:30pm on site through September 14th, ran for 75-80 minutes, went 1.3
kilometers, and was under the artistic direction of Julien Gabriel. By the end of
the expo, "Awakening of the Serpent" was showcased 90 times to over two million
spectators.
