The Evolution of Cirque Du Soleil
Started in 1984
What is Cirque Du Soleil?
If you don't know what Cirque Du Soleil is, it is a Canadian entertainment company. There are many different acts that go on in one of the shows. The technology and tools used have also changed throughout the years as well.
1984-1990
At this point in time many tools were not used, only props. There was no technology in the shows too. In the picture shown it shows the most popular trick, juggling.
1991-2000
Now, they are starting to use more props and more colorful outfits. The things they used were bungees, poles, and different kinds of balls and other props they can hold. Technology is being used as in speakers but not as in the main part of the show or being used in the tricks. They are also starting to have new settings. For example, in 1998 they had their first aquatic show.
2001-2015
Cirque Du Soleil is starting to have different kinds of show with different types of technology and tools depending on what people like. For example, they started Zumanity for the first time. Also, to get more people watching their shows, they started featuring people such as Michael Jackson.
