Some interesting take-aways from these articles is as follows:
- The show itself has been designed to fly ahead and adapt to various performance spaces, thanks to the lightweight nature of TOTEM, which can be packed into air freight boxes.
- Short arena runs can be squeezed in between necessarily longer tent runs.
- The show’s budget is $30 million
- Photos snapped by Cirque chief Guy Laliberté during his recent visit to the International Space Station have been incorporated into the production’s finale.
