With shows canceled, Cirque du Soleil launches online platform

On Cirque du Soleil's online platform, you can access special content, from performances to fitness classes

Watch a show by Cirque du Soleil it's a unique experience. However, like other shows around the world, the performances had to be canceled due to coronavirus advances. To circumvent this scenario, the circus company decided to create an online platform and keep its audience connected to the presentations on the internet.

Named "Cirque Connect“, the platform has a 67-minute long special presenting some impressive excerpts from the shows “Kurios: Cabinet of Curiosities” (from 2014), “O” (at the Bellagio hotel in Las Vegas since 1998) and “Luzia” (2016).

Virtual reality and artist classes

But the platform is not limited to snippets of presentations. The troupe made available four videos that allow total immersion in the shows, which can be viewed by those who have virtual reality glasses. In addition, it is possible to explore the backstage of each show in 360º, spying on all the processes after the curtains close.

Those who access the platform will also be able to find exclusive material, such as videos where the artists give makeup and fitness classes, for example. There is also content dedicated to children and teenagers, as well as soundtracks created for their shows that can be accessed through platforms such as YouTube and Spotify.

Cirque du Soleil: bankruptcy risk

Cirque du Soleil was created in June 1984 and is based in Montreal, Canada. With 19 shows running before the epidemic and several cancellations, it was one of the entertainment companies most affected by the new coronavirus.

The group recently announced layoffs of employees and even considered filing for bankruptcy, as it accumulates debts of around $900 million. The circus company is working with financial experts to try to reverse this scenario.
