In the case of Le Magie Continue, Cirque du Soleil originally performed at Expo 86 in Vancouver before beginning their Canadian tour. Thus, the official start of the 1986 tour is May 18, 1986. In the case of La Nouba, Zumanity, KÀ, LOVE, ZAIA, Believe, and ZED, Cirque du Soleil staged preview performances of these productions before their official Grand Opening/Gala Premiere. Therefore, public performances began on the first date, but an official premiere celebration did on occur until the second. NOTE: Cris Angel BELIEVE was scheduled to hold public previews or have its "soft opening" beginning Sep.01.2008 with the GALA Premiere on Sep.12.2008 before it was delayed. It was delayed a second time by having previews begin on Sep.12.2008 and the GALA on Oct.10.2008. NOTE: BANANA SHPEEL was scheduled to hold public previews in New York City starting February 4, 2010. It was pushed back to February 25, 2010 and again to March 17, 2010 before finally settling on April 29, 2010. { Return to Top }

45 DEGREES is the brand-name of Cirque du Soleil's in-house corporate events and special projects division. Started around 2001 as Cirque's marketing arm, the group was spun out in 2014 as part of the company's effort to recalibrate resoures. In its infancy, the production house launched and staged private performances for the troupe’s sponsors. When the team created a performance for the Academy Awards in 2002, the business really took off. Soon the phone started ringing constantly. Via the 45 DEGREES brand, Cirque du Soleil has expanded Beyond the Big Top to create exclusive artistic content that constantly pushes the boundaries of experimental entertainment, and to provide one-of-a-kind experiences that titillate the senses, stir the imagination, and remain etched in the minds of audiences world-wide - whether they be Corporate Events, Intimate Soirees, Large Public Productions, Prestigious Appearances, Special Happenings, or just General Presences. The company now gets about 1,500 requests a year big and small. But more than a profit opporunity, 45 DEGREES is also a kind of incubator where Cirque can try out performers and ideas for its larger shows. In 2019, the 45 DEGREES subsidiary and brand was retired for "Cirque du Soleil Events + Experiences". In the beginning, many of Cirque's Events were overly generic productions, staged with recycled costumes, music, and choreography from past Cirque du Soleil shows. In 2015, as the 45 DEGREES name came into prominence, the productions became more polished, branded, and unique. Here at Richasi's Le Grand Chapiteau, we mostly focus on the Large Public Productions (these are the high-profile, named concepts) with some attention given to prestigious appearances and special happenings, if the presences are more than just a few odds-and-ends characters about. { Return to Top }
ONE DROP was established by Guy Laliberté in 2007 as a non- profit organization to support the awareness to and conservation of water, and although most of what ONE DROP does is beyond Cirque du Soleil's pervue (both were founded by Laliberté, but are two separate entities), the two companties do cross paths from time to time. Learn more about ONE DROP at their website: www.onedrop.org. { Return to Top }
Put simply, C-LAB was the creative experimental laboratory within Cirque du Soleil. Though C:LAB was established as a subsidiary of Cirque du Soleil in more recent times, the Cirque has always had an incredible group of people keen to experiment with new ideas and technologies. In 2014, Cirque du Soleil reorganized them into C:LAB. Welby Altidor, Executive Creative Director of Creation at Cirque du Soleil at the time, headed up this group. The C-LAB group grew quiet in 2017 and was later reborn as NEXTASY. { Return to Top } |
