According to China Post, an English-speaking newspaper in Taiwan, Cirque du Soleil will set up its trademark Grand Chapiteau on the island for the very first time in early 2009. From the article:
- Canada’s globe-trotting circus group “Cirque du Soleil” finalized an agreement with Taipei City yesterday where its debut performance in Taipei would take place early next year, announced Jacques Cartier, vice president of the group. Taipei has been selected along with South America to see the “Alegria” show, which is “characterized by its evocative Baroque style” whose music and drama are exemplified by an expressive mood of grandeur, “along with a sense of speed coupled with delicate elegance,” said a press release.
