Cirque 2020 is “Under the Same Sky”!
www.cirquefascination.com: In Cirque du Soleil UNDER THE SAME SKY, the audience will be touched by uplifting acrobatic choreography, startling physical theatre and moved by the vibrant musical score, all infused with the warmth of human interconnection. This new big top experience invokes the power of the human performance and communal experience which remain at the heart of all Cirque du Soleil creations.

I wasn't so sure about the direction this show was going to go in when I first started the article, but seeing the design sketches and images from production are really amazing. I like that with quite a few of the images they give I can't tell what is costume or makeup design and what is media. It is always kind of mind blowing when Cirque comes out with a new show because it seems like they have done every possible theme possible. I saw Ovo a couple of years ago and I remember thinking that it was kind of incredible how some group is able to design so many of these shows, but they don't feel like they are being mass produced to simply saturate the market. Each one has a unique message and essence to the performance that I really admire. Their use of technical elements is also really amazing. The moving platform for Ka is something I had never thought possible in live theater before seeing videos of it, and the costume design is always really fun and unique. Overall, I think that cirque is really special because it has the ability to bring the world of circus entertainment into an innovative theatrical setting, which obviously requires a lot of work and creative minds.
