About this episode

Originally composed of 20 street performers in 1984, Cirque du Soleil Entertainment Group completely reinvented circus arts and has become a world leader in live entertainment. Established in Montreal, the Canadian organization has brought wonder and delight to over 180 million spectators with productions presented in 450 cities in 60 countries. Cirque du Soleil Entertainment Group currently employs 4,000 people, including 1,300 artists, who originate from nearly 50 countries.

The key question however – how do they do it??. As spectators, we marvel at the skill, the daring, the execution of acts we can only dream about, but it doesn’t happen by accident. Creating the culture and conditions for this amazing talent to grow and prosper takes real commitment and real focus. This begins by finding the right talent, bringing them into the organisation and then preparing them to participate in amazing shows. These can be complex processes that require time, patience, structure, leadership and much more.

In this episode – we will be exploring with Marie Noelle what happens behind the curtain every day to help create the greatest show on earth.
