"Ladies and gentlemen, dear children, once upon a time..." The alure of the circus has always been magical. But, Cirque du Soleil has redefined the meaning of the word and has taken it to the next level - performance art without boundaries, ballet without gravity. And their intoxicating mixture of costume, music, stage design and showmanship has dazzled millions. Emmy award winning Cirque Réinventé captures the extraordinary tour performed by Cirque du Soleil to sold out audiences in 1987. Included are breathtaking feats of handbalancing, tightrope, acrobatic cycling, chair balancing, contortion, clowns and aerial acrobatics. "With our fierceness and our youthfullness, we wanted to reinvent the circus." [back cover]
