40 Years Around Our Sun

40 wonderous years of dreaming the impossible.

Cirque du Soleil has captivated audiences around the globe for four decades. What started out as a pipe-dream for Guy Laliberté back in the 1980’s soon became an international phenomenon, bringing circus arts to the masses in a way no one had experienced before.

The road so far has been a medley of acrobatic feats and performances imbued with emotion. A journey that has shaped our vision of entertainment in a unique way. We take this powerful perspective with us everywhere our cast and crew set foot!

As the curtain rises on our 40th year, it's not merely a milestone; it's a testament to the extraordinary journey of imagination and a celebration of the wonders we’ve brought to the stage.
