In an open letter published by The Montreal Gazette this morning, Cirque du Soleil founder Guy Laliberté thanks the people of Quebec for their patronage and support, and explains why he wants to blast off into outer space this Fall:
- Today I am back in Star City, Russia, resuming my training for my 12-day journey into space.
I’ve just had an incredible week full of events that put me in contact with my family, my friends, my employees, and the public, young and old.
And all of you took the time to give me sincere, inspiring and truly touching encouragement for my adventure – our adventure.
Whether at the International des Feux Loto-Québec, on the street, or at Cirque celebrations of our 25th anniversary, your “Bon voyage!” and “Go, Guy!” greetings touched me deeply.
And then there was Gaspé – a whole town wearing clown noses welcomed me. This gesture was part of my dream 25 years ago and to see it happen with such generous and genuine people will remain in my heart forever.
Once again, I found the source of unconditional motivation you’ve always represented. Thank you to the people of Quebec!
