The Music
"When it came to inspiration for this film's score," Jutras continues, "it was about the passage through life and a young woman who falls in love, about how love makes you go through all of these emotions, the colors of love, so to speak. What I wanted to do with the opening act was to make it a very separate experience, to make it as little like Cirque du Soleil as possible to show the contrast of the old circus and the worlds of Cirque du Soleil. In the final act, since it was part of KÀ, Stephen Barton used that show to inspire the music (of the final act)."

Composer Benoit Jutras wrote the score and transitional music between the Cirque du
Soleil shows used in the film. Stephen Barton had previously teamed with Adamson on the
Shrek and Narnia films, but the director felt it important to have Jutras, who had written
scores for some of the Cirque du Soleil shows used, to adapt and refine some of that
music specifically for Worlds Away.
"The music was really the dialogue of this film," says Jutras. "You see, Cirque du
Soleil developed it as a language for its shows, to tell a story with the music and
without words. It becomes the universal language." It was an element that Cameron
and Adamson wanted to retain for the film.
