As if acrobatics wasn’t hard enough, Cirque Du Soleil is doing that on ice for its Crystal show at the CN Centre.
The show, which was created in 2017, has 45 performers and over 100 people from 25 countries perform at various venues around the world performing ice dances, chair balancing, trapeze, and more.
Artistic Director, Boris Verkhovsky says playing at different venues makes a big difference for them.
“In a place like Rogers Centre, you have to play up higher, because so much of the audience is seated up higher. They need to see your face.”
“Here, it’s a lot more fun, because you’re closer to the audience, there’s more intimacy, there’s more reaction, there’s more appreciation for little things.”
Verkhovsky says the show is moved every week, and at each location they build the sets, have practices and rehearsals, and a couple days rest for performers.
Cirque Du Soleil has two shows today, and two final shows on Sunday, before travelling to California.
