Bonus Features
  • Multi-Angle Performances — There are four "multi-angle" selections, where you can look at the standard shot, a close-up, a medium shot, or a full-stage view, all in sync with the rest of the program. The skipping rope (2:22), dralions (4:53), teeterboard (4:57), and single hand-balancing (5:00) acts can be viewed with this feature (of interest is a bit of behind-the-scenes trivia: during the hand-balancing act, the first transfer from one hand to the other is successful in the finished version, while the alternate angles reveal that the shot is a re-shoot; the performer almost missed it originally.)

  • "In The Heart of Dralion" (22:50) — A short 23-minute retrospective on the creation of Dralion, touching on the troubles the creative team endured to bring Dralion to audiences.

  • Behind the Scenes — Created to complement the live show experience, Cirque du Soleil Presents Dralion was designed specifically for television and shot during four sold-out performances in San Francisco. David Mallet, the award-winning director, employed 14 cameras and special lighting to capture the essence of the performances. For 12 days, more than 50 specialists worked in close collaboration with the North American Tour staff to organize the site and to make sure that the Big Top and set were re-lit and ready for the cameras. { Read More }
