Published to celebrate twenty years of the international
phenomenon that is Cirque du Soleil, this is the first
retrospective of the circus and theater experience that has
beguiled and bewitched audiences worldwide. This is the story of
Cirque du Soleil - its origins, its struggles, and its victories
-- told by the artists themselves. In a chronological survey, in
words and in pictures, ranging from the first modest official
performance in 1984 in the small Quebec town of Gaspé to an
entertainment powerhouse in 2004 with a host of touring
companies around the world as well as resident showcases in
Orlando, Florida and Las Vegas, Nevada, this book charts a
brilliant journey of creativity and imagination, of challenge
and adventure.
Lavishly illustrated with more than three hundred photographs,
"20 Years Under the Sun" covers all the Cirque du Soleil
productions, including the nine currently running. Moreover, it
details Cirque du Soleil's transformation and innovation of the
circus experience, and it reveals the thoughts and dreams of the
creative personnel, and how those dreams came to life on the
stage.
