Cirque du Soleil plans to open at least eight (8) new shows around the world by 2010 and we at Fascination are very curious to know who will be leading the charge, creatively speaking, behind those shows. Aren’t you? While some shows’ creative rosters are not yet fully fleshed out, many of Cirque’s upcoming shows do have creative directors and staff already assigned to them.
