Long before Cirque du Soleil became a permanent fixture in Las Vegas, they were a little-known troupe of fire-breathing, stilt-walking performers in Quebec, Canada. They didn’t set out to change the way the world looks at the circus; they just wanted to bring joy and magic to the hearts of those in their community.
At this year’s Life Is Beautiful , Cirque du Soleil returns to its street performance roots as 35 performers from the company’s seven resident Las Vegas shows join together in a series of unique 30-minute performances throughout the day on Friday, September 23.
The performances will take place all over the festival and will no doubt create a rare and inspiring experience for fans. Just imagine being up-close with these incredible artists as they flip and tumble their way through Life Is Beautiful.
“The story of our success will always start with street performance,” says Pierre Parisien, senior director of show quality at Cirque du Soleil. “The opportunity to engage with fans on an intimate level, just feet in front of our incredible artists, brings an exciting chance to partner with Life Is Beautiful again and share the magic of Cirque with our community.”
See you at the Cirque!
