    A group of ordinary people, known as the "Sociaux", wearing monochromatic
    raincoats and red noses unexpectedly emerge from the mist. They find themselves
    under a circus tent reigned over by a Ringmaster decked out in a sharp blue
    redingote and top hat. One by one, they take off their slickers and metamorphose
    into circus artists!
	 Following on the heels of their Grand Tour success (1984
	and 1985 tours), Cirque du Soleil revamped their young show
	into Le Magie Continue. With a new title and attitude
	Cirque set off once again on a tour of their native homelands.
	This seasonal tour visited a handful of Canadian cities - eight
	in all. Cirque also had the distinction of being part of the
	festivities surrounding Expo'86 in Vancouver (the Children's Festival in
    late April and the Exposition itself in early May), representing their
	Canadian heritage and homeland. The magic and fantasy continued
	to follow them wherever they went propelling Cirque du Soleil to
	new heights in attendance and success. 
	That success also allowed
	them to take risks - for the first time in Cirque history they
	extended an invitation to the Chinese government to have a team
	of its most talented acrobats take part. That invitation grew into
	the Spining Meteor performance and a life-long partnership with
	the Chinese arts. Thankfully, La Magie Continue can be
    seen by fans and spectators alike through home video versions
    (DVD/VHS). And it is through these media that many fans have been
    able to see the show for the first time. Now, augment the DVD/VHS
    release by exploring this section of our web site. Let the Fantasy
    Continue!
