cirquefascination.com: On a relatively cool Las Vegas winters eve in 1993, patrons, fans and the curious alike assembled on the Las Vegas Strip to take part in something new and extraordinary: the birth of a new creation from Cirque du Soleil.
While today an event such as this is considered less than phenomenal (there are now multiple Cirque du Soleil shows in Las Vegas for instance), on this cool December evening however, these spectators were witnessing something untried – the unveiling of a new concept. Rather than travel and be presented under the Grand Chapiteau (as all other previous Cirque du Soleil shows had done), this new creation would instead bow within a specially constructed theater built for its purpose alone inside one of the newest casino-hotels on the Las Vegas Strip – Steve Wynn’s Treasure Island.
It would turn out to be unlike anything that had ever been seen before from this Montrèal-based circus troupe and it would usher in a brand new era for Cirque du Soleil, Las Vegas, and production arts as a whole.
Mystère.
