Unfortunately love is not ALL you need in order to make a show like Cirque du Soleil’s LOVE function each night.

In this installment of CirqueTech, we’re going to peek at some of the material LiveDesign published in its fabulous article; specifically, the equipment used to help illuminate the show night after night.
