Cirque du Soleil certainly are different and work like a tightly knit family, they do have the advantage of not being a traveling show though.
Having been back-stage at a circus many times for work, it's a really tough and hard life to live in...
They eventually removed all of their animals from their show, not because of external pressure, but because they could no longer care for the animals as they used to.
For those that haven't seen their VR experience, try and see it, it's jaw-dropping good.
- clintonb 6y agoCirque has/had multiple traveling shows. They spend anywhere from a few days to a few weeks in each city, depending on whether it’s an arena or a big tent show.
- tmikaeld 6y agoI thought they where more permanent than just a few days, if so, that's impressive considering their show quality (Which probably differ a lot if they are travelling)..
- chrisdhal 6y agoThey are in places like Las Vegas where they have multiple "permanent" (as in years long runs) shows. They also have traveling shows that will stay for a few days in a city and generally have their own tents and such that they setup, they don't use existing buildings or arenas.
- bane 6y agoThere's a documentary on the traveling show logistics I remember seeing one time. It included a traveling school container so that the children of the employees could maintain an education.
