A real cause for celebration - Cirque du Soleil turns 20 this month

Part One
The Birth of an Artistic Adventure

With the courage to dream, Guy Laliberté and partners in crime Gilles St-Croix, Guy Caron and René Dupéré conjured up a wild and crazy notion: to create a made-in-Quebec circus!

Uncertain of what the future might hold, the troupe forged ahead with their ideas and in 1984, as Quebec geared up to mark the 450th anniversary of explorer Jacques Cartier's first voyage to our shores, the perfect opportunity presented itself. As organizers from the event searched for a unique performance to anchor the festivities, Guy Laliberté came forth to pitch his idea and persuade organizers of Cirque du Soleil's™ amazing potential. Despite certain technical mishaps, including the collapse of Cirque du Soleil's first Grand Chapiteau during a highly anticipated press conference, plans went ahead.

Thanks to help from the Quebec government, Cirque du Soleil premiered for the first time in its history on the shores of Gaspé. Audiences reacted with sheer amazement and delight-including the then-premier of Quebec, René Lévesque. Following a hugely successful cross-Quebec tour, the government came through with a generous grant to help further the troupe's dream.

Artistically speaking, 1985 proved to be a pivotal year in Cirque du Soleil's evolution. Guy Caron, extremely well versed in European circus arts became the troupe's first artistic director. He and Guy Laliberté mapped out Cirque's artistic hopes: firstly, to create a magical realm under the Grand Chapiteau; secondly, to ensure a cohesive performance with flow from one act to the next; and finally, to have artists double as background performers or stage technicians for acts in which they did not have starring roles. Later in the same year, Guy Caron invited Franco Dragone aboard, marking the true beginning of Cirque's distinctive theatrical tradition.

Travelling outside Quebec, with tour stops in cities such as Ottawa, Toronto and Niagara Falls proved problematic. With advertising budgets and expenses soaring, Cirque's financial situation was disastrous! Thanks to careful planning by Daniel Gauthier in 1985, with cooperation from Quebec's employee credit union, a cure for Cirque's financial difficulties was found.

The year 1986, when La Magie continue™ was created, saw the beginnings of greater involvement by Franco Dragone as a director, though Guy Caron remained Cirque du Soleil's principal Director of Creation.

Also in 1986, Michel Crête joined the group as head of costume design while René Dupéré moved towards new musical traditions.

At long last, following several months of teamwork, La Magie continue premiered at Expo 86 in Vancouver. Thanks to outstanding reviews and public enthusiasm for the brand-new production, Cirque's popularity was on the rise… but a long and bumpy road was still ahead.

Part Two
Playing to Win: The Los Angeles Art Festival

In 1987, Cirque du Soleil's second successful production, We Reinvent the Circus, is in full swing. Featuring the hilarious antics of clown Benny LeGrand and stunning trapeze duo Jacqueline Williams and Andrew Watson, the show is a sure hit! Within the same year, Cirque uproots its tent poles from an apartment office on Montreal's Saint-Hubert Street and moves into the old No. 7 Fire Station in the Old Port of Montreal. As a new home to 15 or so employees, this new location also houses the props workshop.

Meanwhile, serious negotiations are underway in California-negotiations which will soon change the course of Cirque du Soleil's history forever. Members of the Quebec government's delegation in Los Angeles are hard at work in an attempt to persuade the city's art festival to include We Reinvent the Circus in its upcoming line-up. Weary organizers respond that there is no room for circus acts in an art festival, but eventually a contract is drawn up. Guidelines state that the committee will not provide Cirque with a cent towards travel expenses, but in exchange, Cirque will open the event and keep 100% of box office profits. The troupe only has enough money to get to California, but zero funds for the return journey. If the show tanks, Cirque is history! Fortunately for us opening night is a smash hit. At long last the United States has opened its doors, and with sheer delight, we head down the road to San Diego and Santa Monica.

Early in 1988, We Reinvent the Circus performs in Santa Monica for the second time around, followed shortly thereafter by a visit to San Francisco. Soon, the Big Apple beckons. With pressure and anticipation on the rise, we set up our Grand Chapiteau in New York and perform before a sold-out crowd. The show is a huge success and before long, we're the talk of the town!

Following a string of performances in New York, the troupe is beyond exhausted. The return trip home to Montreal is a long and difficult one. The troupe needs a break!
