Cirque du Soleil entertain on trampoline
19/08/2009 A long-running and never-ending circus tour will be bouncing from one town into another next week.
The crew of Cirque du Soleil will roll up the Grand Chapiteauin New Zealand next week, and thousands of locals will be pouring through its doors.
An animal-free circus, which is adored worldwide, it is in its fifth visit to New Zealand's shores, and has been stunning visitors once again with trampoline shows, ancient-Chinese-theatre-meets-avant-garde-extravaganza that is Dralion, reports the New Zealand Herald.
When the curtain flaps drop for the last time on August 23rd, the dedicated crew will spend five hours pulling down the stage, before shipping all 140 cast members of 17 different nationalities to Mexico, where they will begin again.
After competing for 18 years in the Spanish national trampoline team, one gymnast is a relative novice to the circus, but not the trampoline.
Alejandro Cuenca Perez, has been trampolining for 22 years, but now his death defying tricks on the trampoline is one of the big draws.
From a group of 20 street performers at its beginnings in 1984, the Cirque du Soleil company has more than 4,000 employees from over 40 different countries, including 1,000 artists.
