Welcome to the latest edition of Fascination, the Unofficial Cirque du Soleil Newsletter.
Usually there’s a long-winded discussion here about some of the shocking and/or unusual news and rumors that find their way across our desks here at Fascination, pieces that highlight new projects Cirque is undertaking, or even answers to questions brought up as we’re doing a bit of research. Not this month. There’s just too many little bits to talk about (from KURIOS VR to ALLAVITA! and more!), so rather than single out a couple to talk about here I’ll just get on with it – this is a rather large issue!
More about the world of Pandora, and TORUK – The First Flight, have come to light this month thanks to Cirque du Soleil’s social outreach. We’ve collected these fantastic morsels – the “Enter Pandora” sweep-stakes search and “Inside the Creators Studio” texts – into “Exploring The World of Pandora” in our FEATURES section this month. If you’re interested in TORUK – The First Flight like I am, you’ll want to take a look at all the new information cirque has released on the project. Keith Johnson recently had the opportunity to catch not only KURIOS-cabinet of Curiosities under the Big Top but also see VAREKAI in a local arena. See what he thinks about the new touring show and how VAREKAI has fared in its transition to an arena-based show. (Hey, mine isn’t the only opinion around here you know! 🙂 ) And last, but not least, Michael Joseph Gross at Vanity Fair had quite the expose on Cirque this past month, focusing heavily on the circumstances surrounding Sarah Guillot-Guyard’s death at KA back in 2013. It’s a great read.
As always we also have the posts made to Cirque’s Facebook pages, and updates to Cirque’s touring schedule.
So, let’s get started!
