Arts du cirque - Critiques et interprétations

Résumé :
In 1987 Cirque du Soleil claimed to “reinvent the circus.” Although they later retracted this statement, it does force the question: What is original and innovative about a Cirque du Soleil performance and what is not? This paper will explore the origins of one “unique” act within the Cirque du Soleil milieu, the aerial straps, and investigate to what degree it is an original or “unique” creation. As well, it will examine how Cirque du Soleil has transformed a major circus archetype, the ringmaster, into a new and distinctive creation. [author summary]
