Amazon.com While some will quibble with the visual design of Cirque du Soleil (a mutant hybrid of a Renaissance harlequinade and the Vegas excess of Liberace or Siegfried and Roy), there's no arguing about the physical prowess of the performers; the acrobatic feats are simply astonishing. Cirque du Soleil: Cirque Reinvente (We Reinvent the Circus) features dazzling dexterity on tightropes, trapezes, bicycles, and the bodies of other performers; impeccable clowning; and a contortionist of truly inhuman flexibility who can walk upside down on her hands and knees in an uncannily spiderlike fashion. Though Cirque du Soleil's spectacle is best experienced live, these particular pieces translate surprisingly well to video. --Bret Fetzer --This text refers to the VHS Tape edition. Description "Ladies and gentlemen, dear children, once upon a time..." The allure of the circus has always been magical. But Cirque du Soleil has redefined the meaning of the word and has taken it to the next level, performance art without boundaries, ballet without gravity. And their intoxicating mixture of costume, music, stage design and showmanship has dazzled millions. Emmy award winning Cirque Reinvente captures the extraordinary tour performed by Cirque du Soleil to sold-out audiences in 1987. Included are breathtaking feats of handbalancing, tightrope, acrobatic cycling, chair balancing, contortion, clowns and aerial acrobatics. "With our fieriness and our youthfulness, we wanted to reinvent the circus." 1987, 56 minutes.
