Cirque du Soleil will debut a new production at Radio City Music Hall this summer. The show, called Zarkana, follows the adventures of Zark, a magician who has lost his love and, with her, his powers. As he begs for her return, he is plunged into a world inhabited by surreal creatures.

Zarkana has a cast made up of 71 international artists and will feature all of the whimsical costumes and death-defying stunts Cirque du Soleil is known for. Producers call Zarkana "an elusive destination that is fantastic yet bizarre." Adding, "The name refers to the irresistibly odd and delightfully strange aura of this place and its inhabitants."

Kooza is the story of a little boy who's trying to find his place in the world. Called The Innocent, he's guided by The Trickster who shows him all sorts of things in the world of Kooza from a bumbling king and his clown sycophants to a loudmouth pickpocket, pretty female contortionists, jugglers, dancers, tightrope walkers (and cyclists) and tumblers extraordinaire.

Cirque Du Soleil Founder Becomes Latest Space Tourist For A Cause

October 5, 2009 at 3:59 PM | by | Comments (0)

Cirque Du Soleil founder and "I'm so rich I could go to space" mega-billionaire Guy Laliberté has—fittingly—taken off from Kazakhstan on his way to the International Space Station. Now that he's entered orbit, he's officially become the latest in a slowly increasing list of space tourists. Unlike other space tourists, though, Laliberté isn't just going for pleasure. He's bundling his trip into a broader program of environmental and anti-poverty activism.

Here's where things get a little bit dicey for us. Laliberté seems really sincere and the organization he's promoting, the One Drop Foundation that he founded, literally does the Lord's work getting water to people who don't have it. But we can see how the particular way he's chosen to highlight his cause might engender, in a certain kind of person, a potential... snideness:
