Everybody loves a good circus but the traditional take on the circus with its performing animals, trapeze artists and clowns are pretty much a thing of the past. This however has not seen the demise of the circus but rejuvenated it and thrust it into the international arena under a new guise. Probably the most famous of the new kids on the block is the Cirque du Soleil organization that can be found far and wide these days, most notably with a number of shows in Las Vegas.
The organization itself was set up not in France as the name might make you think, but in Quebec, Canada by a performing artist by the name of Guy Laliberté who would juggle and breathe fire on the sidewalks surrounding the St. Lawrence River. With his band of performers, the first official Cirque tour took place in 1984 to commemorate the anniversary of Canada’s discovery and its success saw the birth of the now internationally acclaimed Cirque du Soleil group.
