The most insane feat of performance strength I've ever seen. Audience's jaws dropped when I saw it live. The hamstring curl he does at 4:15 is ridiculous.

Yeah their act actually used to be alot more hardcore, they're getting old. Check out their earlier stuff.

How many different Cirque du Soleil shows are there? Does Guy Laliberte still have an active role in creating every different show?

Asked by O0O over 12 years ago

I believe there's currently 19 shows running. Nope, Guy doesn't have much to do with the shows anymore. Daniel Lamarre is president and CEO. The one time Guy came to see Zaia there just happened to be a world poker championship on in Macau at the same time :-) Fair enough I reckon. He's earned the right to enjoy his success.

Were you required to maintain a certain body type, or did it not matter as long as you could perform your routine? Like could you put on 20 pounds of fat or would they tell you to lose it so that you looked more fit?

Asked by baci about 12 years ago

Maintaining a stage worthy physique is part of the contract.

Obviosuly some characters or acts can get away with slipping more than others.

If your an aerial flyer you can get bet your partners will come down on you pretty quick if you start putting the pounds on.
