Wings: Backstage with Cirque du Soleil
by Vial, Veronique
Reality in the World of Illusion What I like most about the book is how opposite, yet kindred it is to Cirque du Soleil. Cirque is all about light and motion; it is a production, a theatrical spectacle in every way. Wings: Backstage with Cirque du Soleil, on the other hand, is completely shot in black and white; the characters are, for once, still. |
