By the time Cirque du Soleil got to making Quidam they were ready to take a risk and move away from the
fantastical characters they'd been dealing with up until then. "We became interested in the faceless masses,"
Franco Dragone mused. "You may know 100 people well, but the rest of the 6 billion
people on the planet are quidams: they're anonymous to you. And yet, my experience with Cirque made me
realize you can recognize individuals in that mass. Because Cirque du Soleil is so international, Sydney
and Russia have become more than places to me: they have become places where
people I know are from. The world has become more human."
Quidam has undergone many changes in its almost twenty-year history – performers have
come and gone, acts have been replaced time and again, clowns have left and come back
and left again – but perhaps the show’s biggest shakeup came the day it ceased to be
a touring show under the big top and was converted into an arena-only traveling
production, hitting up secondary and tertiary markets across the world.
In doing so, like its predecessor converts, Quidam would lose more than a little
of its luster, some said it lost its soul. Which is an interesting comment to
ponder; especially so when Quidam originally surprised spectators and attracted
considerable criticism when it first launched. Cirque du Soleil answered these
charges by saying Quidam was not an "Alegria Plus" or "Super Saltimbanco", but
an animal all to its own. Perhaps the show is best summed up in the words of the
title song from the Soundtrack - "There's nothing left, there's nothing right,
there's nothing wrong. I'm one,'I'm two, I'm all yet none of you. The truth, the
lies, the tear, the laughter, the hand and the empty touch. Here I am, alone,
waiting for the curtain call."
{ Goodbye, Quidam }
