cirque du soleil

you have probably all heard of the 'cirque du soleil'. but some of you probably didn't know they were from... montreal! we had the chance to visit their impressive headquarters a couple of weeks ago. it turned out the cirque is a huge, extremely well-organized business, with 12 shows playing all over the world all year round. at the montreal headquarters, all outfits are designed and produced from scratch, new artists are recruited and trained (often former professional athletes) and new shows are created.
