Talk:Cirque du Soleil

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Removed award mention from "* Alegria (Academy Award-winning)"--couldn't find verification (special may have won an emmy)--same source as two apparently ficitious articles. Niteowlneils 04:49, 14 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Do we need to have separate articles for each of the spectacles? David.Monniaux 12:37, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Yes I would. They all need to be cleaned up and expanded. This is because each show is so different. --michael180 18:59, Jun 20, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] History

Cirque du Soleil's been around since at least 1984; I think it might be a good idea if we had a little about the history, things like how it started and where. If there are no objections, I'd like to add some information about this. A Divine Tragedy 22:43, 8 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] banquine

"Cirque creators borrow from some of circus's earliest forms (for example, banquine and teeterboard acts)"

Clicking "banquine" brings you to a page that says that banquine is a very new term, and may have actually been coined by Cirque. This seems to conflict with it being "one of circus's earlier forms." One of these is wrong, but I don't know which. I was under the impression that the earlier forms of circus were things like juggling and tightrope walking.

[edit] Music of Cirque du Soleil

Missing from this article is a discussion of the music of Cirque Du Soleil, which is interesting in its own right and published as CD's by Cirque Du Soleil. A search on Rene Dupere only brings up the article on Mystere, although he is the composer in several of the shows. Also is discussion of the musical styles, musical performers, other conductors.

So make a new article about Cirque's music. Do not add it here, as this article should focus more on the corporate Cirque as much as possible.SpikeJones 15:53, 25 December 2006 (UTC)
