It's one big circus

摘要

Guy Laiiberte is the founder of Cirque du Soleil, the internationally renowned billion-dollar entertainment corporation. Nearly 25 years ago, Laiiberte was a Montreal street performer who had the opportunity to utilize a 1.3 million dollar public grant to develop a show that would participate in Quebec City's 450th anniversary celebrations in 1984 throughout the province. The result was Cirque du Soleil—and it was to be unlike any other circus the world had known. But what sets Cirque apart fromother circuses are the individual touring shows that possess their own themes and stories, craftily designed and planned to precise detail, whether it's sets, costumes, music, or movements of the performer.
