It has been described as the modern circus, and focuses upon a storyline as well as amazing performances. It has several resident and touring troupes and draws heavily from the circus tradition. Emphasizing the use of humans as performers, Cirque du Soleil does not make use of animals. Instead, its performances combine elements of street performances and busking, circus, opera, ballet, and rock music. Acts include contortionists, jugglers, feats of strength, clowning, and trapeze artists. Their costumes are very colorful and creative, setting a festive and lively atmosphere. Also, Cirque shows do not use pre-recorded music; all music is played live.
Cirque shows begin as a creative concept, usually with elements of a central story line, a design concept and the selection of a composer for the music. These elements remain relatively constant throughout the production run of a given show.
However, the shows also include both "house" and "guest" acts. House acts are performed by the full-time cast members, some whom may be involved in several routines. Not all prepared routines are presented in every performance. Guest acts rotate in and out over the run of the show (clowns are typically guest acts). As a result, Cirque shows can vary somewhat performance to performance, and shows tend to evolve over time.
Cirque creators borrow from some of circus's earliest forms (for example, banquine and teeterboard acts) but also regularly introduce new apparatus. For example, Cirque introduced the use of bungie cords to aerial acts and created a modified tumbling trampoline called a Power Track, both of which have since been adopted by other circuses.
Cirque du Soleil recruits acts from different world circuses, including from China and Russia, blending them into their own style.
Among veteran circus performers, Cirque is regarded as one of the world's best circuses, due to higher than normal pay scales and benefits.
Cirque du Soleil has produced a number of performance DVDs and soundtrack CDs.
The troupe was inducted into Canada's Walk of Fame.
Sans toi
Cirque Du Soleil Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Les visages et les voix
Se confondent et se noient
Je suis seule dans la foule sans toi
Sans toi
Je me perds dans le temps
Les bras de mes amants
Je vois
Une vie pleine de passents
Hommes, femmes et enfants
Sans désin, sans espoir
Sans y croire
Sans toi
Mon soleil, mon amour
Je m'eteins tous les jours
Une nuit sans ètode... sans aurore
Sans toi
Pien ne peut me toucher
Ce monde sans pitiè
Plus de faim ni de soif sans toi
Pour to
Une tempète de tendresse
Un torrent de tristesse
La colère de vivre sans toi
Je vois
Un destin sans promesse
Comme le vent d'une coresse
Ton visage, ton sourir dans
Ma mèmoire
Prends moi
D'une caresse de demain
Une luqur dans le froid
Je veux vivre, je veux rire pour toi...
Mon amour
The song "Sans Toi" by Cirque du Soleil is a beautiful expression of heartbreak and the struggle to move on after the loss of a loved one. The lyrics describe the feeling of being lost and alone in a crowd of people, with faces and voices blending together and no one to turn to. The singer is haunted by memories of the past, with demons and regrets consuming her thoughts. She sees a world without hope or purpose, with no belief in anything, without the love and presence of her loved one.
Despite the pain and sadness, the singer still holds on to the memory of her lover, as they were the sun in her life. Without them, she feels herself fading away day after day, with no hope of finding a way forward. The world without her lover is a cold and pitiless place, with no desire for food or drink. She feels like a storm brewing with tenderness, a torrent of sadness, and a raging anger at the unfairness of life without her love. She dreams of an embrace from tomorrow, a warmth in the cold, and a reason to laugh and live again, all for her beloved.
Overall, "Sans Toi" is an incredibly poignant and emotional song, touching on the theme of heartbreak and the difficulty of moving on. It speaks to the universal experience of loss and the search for meaning in a world without someone we love.
