The Creativity of Cirque du Soleil Special Events
Since 1984, Cirque du Soleil is known for its live shows presented under big tops (tents) or in theatres. But while the heart of Cirque du Soleil's main activity remains creating live shows, the organization has extended its activities towards conceiving, designing and producing a wide range of unique experiences and upscale events. Whether for major international events like the Academy Awards or the 2012 Super Bowl Halftime performance with Madonna, to global brands from Infiniti to Xerox, the Cirque du Soleil Special Events team is dedicated to designing and producing unique, exquisite experiences.
