You can attribute this massive popularity to the extraordinary experience of actually seeing a Cirque show. The combined work of performers, directors and the backstage crew add up to a completely original whole that leaves most audiences in awe. Just about everywhere Cirque goes, its reputation seems to precede it.

As you might expect, it takes a lot of work and talent to put an awe-inspiring show like this together.

Cirque du Soleil was born in 1984, when a group of Montreal fi re-eaters, stilt-walkers and juggling street performers joined forces to create one show that had everything. Over the years, the Cirque group grew, creating new shows and spreading to new cities.

Today Cirque du Soleil has fi ve touring shows and six installation shows (shows that stay in a single city). Cirque plans to add a new show to their lineup each year.

While its shows and touring operations have become more sophisticated, Cirque du Soleil has never strayed from its street performer roots. Unlike three-ring circuses, which feature animal acts along with human performers, Cirque du Soleil has always been solely devoted to the extraordinary talents of per-formers. In assembling a show, the Cirque crew gathers diverse talent from all over the world and brings all the performers together into a cohesive whole.
