Secrets of the circus Du Solei

Writer Irina Vasilevitskaya writes:

If you decide to bring somewhere a grand show, then Think carefully. In principle, the idea itself is beautiful and certainly deserves the praise of grateful spectators. But the trouble is how much!

The guys from Cirque du Soleil do well, are not afraid of organizational difficulties. Going to the rehearsal and the show, I learned so much that now I respect them even more.

The show is called Dralion. Made, like all Dusolay's programs, very colorful and high-quality.

All the scenery and costumes fit into twenty-five hefty containers. To transport them, not even two Boeing 747 will suffice.

The usual scene of the Sports Palace of circus performers does not suit. Give them special with hatches, magnetic panels and an elevator capable of lifting more than 450 kg. While the artists got acquainted with Red Square and searched for the golden chain with an oak tree in the Pushkin Museum, the technical staff collected their work place.

The main wall weighs 11 tons with all the equipment installed on it.

The wall has many different purposes. First of all, it's beautiful. Secondly, a lot of lighting and other equipment is attached to it. She also separates the scene from behind-the-scenes, and people fall from it.

I did not see these mats on the view itself. But bright lights, magical music and exciting tricks were noticed.

Some numbers do not require supercomplex and heavy adaptations. It's enough simple, known to all from childhood props.
Here are boxers, for example, jumping rope every workout, and are unlikely to manage.

It's not enough to rehearse tricks. During the show, I must follow everyone and supervise everyone. Such an important post is called a staging manager. In Dralion there are three: one senior and two privates.

The manager is responsible for what, where and when the show happens; keeps everything in order and always on time; gives the command to start artists who are waiting for their way out, under or above the stage; looks to props was okay. To do this, the manager has a radio, a panel with a bunch of buttons and a monitor. pages/2017-05/cc3466f2ed695390b038e51fa40b0747.jpg " title="Blog - Secrets of the circus Du Soleil " width="820"/>

You can also talk a lot about the round piece at the top. What's only the name — Super farm.

It weighs 12,500 kilograms and consists of three aluminum rims. First — platform for performers and technicians, second — suspension for all equipment, and the third can go down and rise, taking with them to the roof of the artists.

See the setup behind the scenes? It's all live here.

Honest to be not only right, but also convenient. So the artists do not depend on the 'plywood' & raquo; and they can work more quietly, and the team managers and their sound-responsible colleagues will make sure that everything is in the right rhythm.

Of course, the show involves a lot of lighting. Or rather, — 72 projectors and 122 lighting devices.

And in order to see the other two, you have to look up.

Show for of spectators begins not when clowns come out into the hall, but when a young, fragile girl climbs up the rope ladder to such a vertigo.

Well-chosen lighting — one of the main reasons to go to the show Cirque du Soleil. I recommend all creative people for inspiration.

There are 54 performers from 14 countries in the cast. All of them must be settled, fed, organized, and leisure activities.
