About Cirque Du Soleil

Inventive, exciting, and a step away from the traditional type of circus you grew up with, Cirque du Soleil is one of the most popular entertainment events in North America and beyond. Founded by two street performers in Montreal in the early 1980s, Cirque du Soleil was built on an eccentric and unique ethos that focuses on characters and performers and excludes the use of animals. This format proved to be appealing to the masses, and the company has managed to redefine what the circus means in today's world. What was intended as a one-year run turned into a multi-decade endeavor that has extended to every continent in the world except Antarctica. Performances by this troupe include incredibly ornate costumes, unique set design and visuals, and intense, dance-focused acrobatics. Fans of the show always make time to see the latest incarnation of the company's creativity and collect memorabilia from performances such as a Cirque du Soleil jacket or Cirque du Soleil ornament. Cirque du Soleil DVD sets are also popular since it allows fans to relive the excitement of a show again and again, or even allows Cirque du Soleil neophytes to end the show for the first time. Cirque du Soleil now operates nearly 20 different shows in over 250 cities around the world. Some popular shows by the troupe include Kooza, Varekai, and La Nouba. Find tickets to get out and see one of these shows in person or search out some of the great memorabilia and DVDs to re-experience the magic at home.
