LOVE, one of the latest Cirque du Soleil creations is a co-production with
Apple Corps Ltd., that celebrates the musical legacy of The Beatles
and is presented exclusively at The Mirage in Las Vegas. This
joint artistic venture marks the first time that The Beatles
company, Apple Corps Ltd., has agreed to a major theatrical
partnership. The project was born out of a personal friendship
and mutual admiration between the late George Harrison and
Cirque du Soleil founder Guy Laliberté.
LOVE brings the magic of Cirque du Soleil together with the
spirit and passion of The Beatles to create an intimate and
powerful entertainment experience. It captures the essence of
love that John, Paul, George and Ringo inspired during their
astonishing adventure together.
Using the master tapes at Abbey Road Studios, Sir George Martin
and Giles have created a unique soundscape for LOVE. "We wanted
to make sure there are enough good, solid hit songs in the show,
but we don't want it to be a catalog of 'best of's'," said Sir
George Martin. "We also wanted to put in some interesting and
not well-known Beatles music and use fragments of songs. The
show is a unique and magical experience."
Dominic Champagne, who directed and wrote the original concept
for the show, explained his vision for LOVE. "I wanted to create
a Beatles experience rather than a Beatles story, taking the
audience on an emotional journey rather than a chronological
one, exploring the landscapes and experiences that have marked
the group's history," said the director.
LOVE is a Rock 'n' Roll poem, a magical mystery tour into the
heart and soul of The Beatles music through an exploration of
the aesthetic, political and spiritual trends of the 1960s.
Inspired by the poetry of the lyrics, the creative team designed
a series of scenes inhabited by colorful characters in
extravagant costumes.
The international cast of 60 channels a raw, youthful energy
evoking the exuberant and irreverent spirit of The Beatles.
High-energy fusions of urban, freestyle dance, aerial
performance and fast-paced athleticism make LOVE a visual and
musical feast.
