Cirque Du Soleil : A Small Performance Group

In the novel, the circus itself is a symbol of the riddle of life and a symbol of dreams. The story gives a hopeful perspective to which it depicts the capacity to overcome obstacles utilizing passion. Nonetheless, there is an all-encompassing topic to which the author portrays a darker message where the failure to isolate passion from obsession prompts the downfall one's character and the blurring one's judgment. A notable example in The Night Circus would be Bailey’s obsession with the circus. Bailey is the son of farmers in Massachusetts and portrays obsessive behaviour towards the circus. “a solitary white glove that has gone rather grey...being kept in a small box with rocks," (Morgenstern 111) and never forgetting about the circus. Then again, his family has extensive desires with him. His dad wants him to take over the family farm and he was conceded into the Cambridge and Harvard. His over the top conduct with the circus clouds his judgment as surrenders all family desires to become a part of the circus. He abandons his family without a goodbye. Bailey can outweigh the circus over his own family and disregard his friends and family who raised him, tended to him and gave their time to him. Many people trust that family is a standout amongst the most vital parts of life, and surely it is, yet Bailey can surrender all that only for his obsession with the

The amount of risk that the circus performers have to deal with on a daily basis is flat out remarkable. They look a death and danger and smile like its nothing to them. Only a special group of people to have enough courage, or as some might say “stupidity” to do this line of work and love it. But the greatest thing of all about them is that they don't care how dangerous something is, if they think they can do it, they will do what ever it takes to accomplish it. We can all learn from that kind of

Cirque du Soleil was founded in 1984, in Baie-Saint-Paul, Canada. The four founders of this amazing company were Guy Laliberté, Gilles Ste-Croix, Daniel Gauthier, and Rachel Vertus; however, this wasn’t the true beginning of Cirque du Soleil.

During this time period, there was little to no regulation of the circus crew or the animals. This was the situation in a Water for Elephants. To top it all off, the show was owned and operated by a money hungry and cruel person, who would do anything to save money such as not paying the workers, not feeding the workers, not giving the exotic animals proper care and the list goes on. But in the circus, the audience seem to buy into the performer's deceptions. The audience is completely oblivious and are deceived by this circus, but in reality the circus is not as perfect as they make it

I really enjoyed going to the circus as a child but, I never knew how it was planned out. After reading my novel I’m surprised at how many problems a circus faces, even though it’s such an exciting place.

The circus has been around for many years, but in recent years the circus has been getting a bad rap. The most famous circus in the United States, which started under the big top, will be closing after a amazing 146 year run. Barnum and Baily will be closing due to animal rights activists, which fought them in many expensive court battles that ending their world famous elephant acts. For a long time, the circus was a dream for kids to have fun and watch the impossible be done. The first cirus were in Europe, but Americans gave their spin on them which included collapsible tents, so they can move on the go.

His ideas and objectives are still valued in the circus today. He presented minorities as equals and shed light on their differences, making society see that even people who appear different are special and should be accepted. He exhibited “giants, dwarves, and other so-called human oddities” and presented them all as interesting and different from the common man. The belief among historians is that Barnum exhibited these eclectic collections of people in order to try unite a divided and racist country. Not only do historians believe the Barnum used humans to improve his show, but the animals he used also enhanced his extraordinary show.

According The Wall Street Journal” … Cirque du Soleil, the Canadian company that redefined the dynamics of a declining circus industry in the 1980s. Under conventional strategy analysis, the circus industry was a loser. Star performers had “supplier power” over the company. Alternative forms of entertainment, from sporting events to home entertainment systems, were relatively inexpensive and on the rise. Moreover, animal rights groups were putting increased pressure on circuses for their treatment of animals.” (Murray, 2014) A new era was created transforming the concept of what is a circus today. As the Wall Street Journal described, “Cirque du Soleil eliminated the animals and reduced the importance of individual stars. It created a new form of entertainment that combined dance, music and athletic skill to appeal to an upscale adult audience that had abandoned the traditional circus. (Murray, 2014)

The life of a circus animal is hard and demanding. It is not an acceptable way of life for an animal. Circuses would quickly lose their appeal if the public were more aware of their mistreatments of these animals. Many circuses do not have much money and as a result the animals suffer from inadequate care. These animals spend most of their time in small cages used for transportation. The Animal Welfare Act provides cage requirements, but many circuses fail to follow this law. Even the Ringling Brothers Barnum and Bailey circus was cited for 65 violations over a two-year period according to Florence Lambert. When traveling, animals spend hours, even days between sites in confinement..

Animals have been a main focus in circus performances around the world for many centuries; however, in recent history, there have been far more regulations put on the use of these creatures, stemming mainly from how they are treated by both their trainers and the circus as a whole. Whether it be on the federal or local and state-level, there has been a definite increase in the questionable legality of America’s circus industry due to the neglect and abuse of the participating animals, courts’ decisions highlighting the true importance of the issue. These rulings make one ask the question: What types of regulations could be put in place in all circuses to ensure that the animals involved are not abused in the process? In the end, many
