Meet Kooza’s Joey Arrigo
With a reputation for pulse-racing performance, any new show by Cirque du Soliel is wrapped in expectations by an audience eager to be wowed. With Kooza, the company has set the bar even higher. Out troupe member Joey Arrigo, who plays the Trickster, shares his journey with Cec Busby. -
Cirque, Vegas, and Millennials… Oh My!
Cirque’s stage shows opened 20 years ago in Las Vegas with “Mystere” at Treasure Island, and with the most recent activity on the Strip completed, there is a feeling the company has finally settled on the right amount of “content” (or, shows) in Vegas. But don’t jump (to conclusions), says longtime Cirque Chief Executive Officer Daniel Lamarre. -

How Cirque is Changing Paramour
A new signature acrobatic sequence, re-choreographed flying machines, a trimmed climax, and deeper backstories for the lead characters are all among the creative changes that Cirque will incorporate into "Paramour” — work extensive enough to warrant cancelling four performances later this month in order to accommodate it. -
Mystère Gets an Altitude Adjustment
As the pirates of Buccaneer Bay fired the first cannons from the decks of ships anchored in front of newly opened Treasure Island Hotel and Casino in 1993, Cirque du Soleil was launching a show inside that would turn out to be the opening salvo in an entertainment revolution for the Strip. -
Paramour Cancels 4 Performances To Make ”Creative Changes”
PARAMOUR has canceled the August 22, 24, 25, and 31 performances to make “creative changes.” The production released a statement explaining, “True to our roots as street performers, our shows evolve over time to reflect feedback from our consumers and our creative team.” No further details about the changes were shared. -
CirqueClub /// “High Wire Brothers”
One of the many nail-biting acts in KOOZA is the high wire act. The four tightrope walkers perform feats in the air that most of us would find difficult to do on the ground. Three of the performers are the Quiros brothers who come from a long line of Spanish circus performers. -

15 hours in the life of Gabriel Christo
It’s hard work being a Cirque du Soleil performer, especially if you’re a main character in one of its most story-driven productions. Gabriel Christo, 29, joined Cirque at age 20 and performing for Cirque du Soleil is a dream for him, but Christo’s days are long. Here, we detail a typical first day in a new city- from breakfast to back to bed. -
Meet Luzia’s Kelly McDonald and Naomie Zimmermann
What goes through your mind when you're being flung, upside-down, from one performer to another? For trapeze artists Kelly McDonald and Naomie Zimmermann, "it's freedom." "It's travelling and giving you all that you would need to be happy," says Zimmermann. The two alternate playing the role of the “Flyer” in “Adagio”. -
A Day in the Life of Ruby Lewis
Ruby Lewis remains in awe of her Paramour cast mates, who dazzle her. “Every night, I am blown away by the human capacity. Paramour is so joyous, so full of color and light — it’s like entering a magic wonderland,” she says. The Paramour star took NewYork.com through her chock-full, multi-tasking, high-flying day. -
Former Cirque Dancer Turns Setback into a New Mission
These are Tyrell Rolle’s days of R.A.G.E. Not rage, mind you. If anything, Rolle radiates infectious joy as kids surround the lanky dancer, leaping to high-five his outstretched hand after they’ve demonstrated a routine they’re rehearsing at his newly opened Studio 305 in a North Las Vegas shopping center. -

New Luzia Visuals!
Cirque du Soleil's Luzia heads into Toronto with a new programme book, new costumes for its hoop-diving hummingbirds, and a new sense of visual style with new banners and posters... which you can check out within. I don't know about you, but these are great! And embody the spirit and playfulness inherent in the show. -
#SodaCirque is “Séptimo Día – No Descansare”

The show will be 90 minutes long and begin touring March 9, 2017.
