2 Show Overview Written and Directed by Diane Paulus Show Amaluna invites the audience to a mysterious island governed by Goddesses and guided by the cycles of the moon. Their queen, Prospera, directs her daughter s coming-of-age ceremony in a rite that honours femininity, renewal, rebirth and balance which marks the passing of these insights and values from one generation to the next. In the wake of a storm caused by Prospera, a group of young men lands on the island, triggering an epic, emotional story of love between Prospera s daughter and a brave young suitor. But theirs is a love that will be put to the test. The couple must face numerous demanding trials and overcome daunting setbacks before they can achieve mutual trust, faith and harmony. The name Amaluna is a fusion of the words ama, which refers to mother in many languages, and luna, which means moon, a symbol of femininity that evokes both the mother-daughter relationship and the idea of goddess and protector of the planet. Amaluna is also the name of the mysterious island where the story unfolds. Amaluna s Tony Award-winning Show Director, Diane Paulus, drew from a series of classical influences when creating the concept of the show; including tales from Greek and Norse mythology, Mozart s The Magic Flute, and Shakespeare s The Tempest. The cast of Amaluna comprise a majority of female, including a 100% female band. Amaluna is a tribute to the work and voice of women, explains Director of Creation Fernand Rainville. The show is a reflection on balance from a woman s perspective, he adds. Show Director Diane Paulus says: I didn t want to build a women s agenda show. I wanted to create a show with women at the center of it, something that had a hidden story that featured women as the heroines. 1

3 The Acts Unicycle Two artists enter on unicycles wearing hoop skirts of gold, weaving in and out of each other s paths like the wind as they joyfully pirouette, dance and thrill the pageant participants. Aerial straps The artists fly out over the audience on straps, suspended from the Carousel, a rotating set element high above them. This spectacular demonstration of flight in four dimensions is calling for precision timing, in addition to the skills and physical strength it takes to move at high velocity through 360 degrees. Peacock Dance Romeo wanders into the Enchanted Forest where he witnesses the bewitching dance of the Peacock Goddess in her dazzling white dress a performance that represents the purity of love. Clown act Romeo s manservant Papulya arrives with the young men and promptly falls headover-heels in love with Maïnha, Miranda s childhood nurse. The feeling is mutual, and pretty soon they are starting a family. Cerceau and Waterbowl The Moon Goddess appears to Miranda riding a Cerceau, bestowing her blessing with a haunting song. Romeo watches as Miranda plays in the waterbowl, discovering her own physicality and expressing her sinuous sexuality as she performs a challenging hand-balancing routine before diving and snaking through the water. He joins her in the water, where they innocently play and tentatively kiss for the first time. Uneven Bars The captured young men help the Amazons the fierce feminine force of the island to present a fast-paced theatrical version of the classic gymnastic routine. 2

4 Teeterboard Fenced in, the young men launch themselves high into the air, twisting and turning in a playful high-speed attempt to escape at first from gravity then from their prison. They pull off several seemingly impossible feats, like landing in a handstand on another performer s upturned palms or running across a mini-stage inclined at a steep angle. Balance Goddess Prospera brings Romeo and Miranda to witness the Balance Goddess creating a world in equilibrium with a mobile made of thirteen palm leaf ribs. An ode to balance, her movements are slow, deliberate and almost meditative as she concentrates all her attention on this literally breathtaking structure. And then she removes the smallest piece, everything disintegrates and the young couple s trials begin arms and sticks Inspired by an Indonesian ritual dance, an ominous company of dancers dressed in black and silver performs a choreography that creates an indelible image of one woman with a thousand arms. The Peacock Goddess reappears in an ominous guise and steals Miranda away while a forest of sticks inspired by Vietnamese circus tradition springs up to create a portal to the Underworld through which Romeo must pass. Chinese Pole Romeo tries to reunite with Miranda by climbing up a pole in an exhibition of sheer muscular strength and inventive, supple routine. Juggling Cali captures Romeo and imprisons him in the water bowl. To celebrate his victory over his rival, he performs a juggling act with balls that drop in ever greater numbers from the sky above. Banquine The island is liberated from Cali s influence. Miranda s friends and the sailors perform an acrobatic celebration where the porters interlock their arms and hands to create platforms, from which the flyers take-off and perform aerial tricks. 3

5 The Main Characters Prospera Prospera is a shaman with magical powers, but she is very much driven by human emotions. The welfare of her daughter is her most important concern. She knows she must let Miranda find love and make her own way in the world, but she can use her powers to influence the way this comes about, and she will always be a protective force in her daughter s life. Miranda Miranda is a girl on the brink of womanhood. She s a romantic, full of fun, enthusiasms, dreams and mischief, who revels in the stimulating world of Amaluna with all of its rich traditions, culture and splendid flora and fauna. Romeo Prospera has a hand in conjuring up the storm that leads to the arrival of a group of young men, and she influences the events that bring their leader, the dashing Prince Romeo, and Miranda together. He is as hungry for true love as she is, but he doesn t yet know how difficult the path ahead will be. Cali Half-lizard, half-human, all jealous, Cali has known Miranda all her life and although she thinks of him only as a pet, he is in love with her. And he s determined to prevent Romeo from winning her. Moon Goddess The Moon Goddess has a strong female presence in Amaluna. She uses her powers sometimes to help and sometimes to hinder the young lovers in their challenge-filled quest for happiness. 4

6 Costumes Amaluna costume designer Mérédith Caron has brought a company of fabulous and eclectic characters to life through the magic of her creations. She imagined the world of the show the mysterious island of Amaluna as existing somewhere in the Mediterranean as a true meeting place between East and West, a distant land where ancient and modern times overlap and blend harmoniously, and several different eras and cultures have seemingly melded into the same location. Her complex multidimensional costumes evoke a world of day and night that is unquestionably contemporary, yet overlaid with the spirit of the Elizabethan period and containing subtle references to the Orient and Scandinavia. It s the encounter of humanity, the glorification of the beauty of the human being, she explains. The Amaluna costumes are a symbiosis between theatre and acrobatics. For Mérédith, the character and the costume are inseparable. One calls out to the other. It is a communion, a symbiotic relationship, she says. But above all, it is the artist that I dress. To dress the artists, Mérédith has created progressive costumes with multiple configurations. Some of them put on a parade uniform for the more theatrical moments in the show, and performance costumes when they perform their act. Many of the garments are equipped with pads and other removable parts the wearers might, for example, remove the sleeves and keep their doublets on, or remove the doublets altogether and perform in their shirts. Women with the right stuff Amaluna recreates a fabulous female mythology on stage. Inspired by Asia Minor, the corseted costumes of the Amazon warriors are augmented with ponytails and high-heeled black and red leather boots in a look that is more fantasy than historical reality. The world of Amaluna is also populated by a layer of unruly half-human, half-animal characters, freely inspired by the world of Shakespeare s Tempest. Lizards, peacocks and fairies rub shoulders with each other. Denim A contemporary material and emblem of adolescence The choice of materials is as important to Mérédith Caron as the lines of the garments. She has given denim doublets worn by the Boys who land on the island of Amaluna a distinctly Renaissance look: The sleeves are slashed to reveal the lining, and the garments are embellished with an 18th century velvet flocking to create the impression of a contemporary jean jacket. Queen Prospera s daughter Miranda, who is about to move into adulthood in this remote environment, wears linen, cambric and distressed velvet a selection that is highly reminiscent of the Italian Renaissance. Her costume expresses her enthusiasm and thirst for discovery. 5

7 Raw talent and musicianship The musicians in Queen Prospera s entourage are creatures of the night who wear costumes that underline their strong personalities and their rock star aura with a really current look. Mérédith was inspired by the clothing styles of major figures in the worlds of music, fashion and film such as k.d. lang, Roy Orbison, John Galliano, Tim Burton and even a rock version of the Village People. You might well see girls in these kinds of clothes among the heterogeneous fauna of a bar in avantgarde Berlin, for example, says Mérédith, hence the link between the costumes, the music and the decidedly rock sensibility of a show that celebrates beauty in all its guises. Close-ups on the costumes Queen Prospera wears a large golden mantle composed of four rectangles on which are printed in sublimation the cover image of GAIA, the book of photographs taken in space by Cirque du Soleil founder Guy Laliberté. It shows a majestic cloud system captured at a distance of 350 km above the earth s surface. The peacock costumes are made up of 14 layers of heatpleated materials trimmed in leather and stretch metallic fabric. The tails open out to a fan of eight feet with hydraulic pistons that compensate for their weight. Made in the same proportion to the performers bodies as the bird s fans have to theirs, the tails are attached to the artists with belts that hide the mechanisms under embroidered feathers. The skeleton and leaves of the fans are made of the same Fiberglass material used in the manufacture of fishing rods, and screen-printed metallic paper is glued to the leaves to recreate the iridescent look of peacock plumage. For the Valkyries costumes in the Aerial Straps act, Mérédith Caron was inspired by the oceans, above and below the surface. Shades of blue and green evoking Scandinavia mix with shades of sky and sea to compose a soothing palette of sophistication. The white dress worn by the artist performing the Peacock Dance comprises a bustier and a skirt. The bustier is made of stretch nylon tulle covered with white beaded lace and Swarovski crystals. The skirt is made of 65 yards of white non-stretch nylon tulle covered with silver lace and Swarovski crystals. The dress has a total of 6,500 Swarovski crystals and 325 silver lace additions. The tail features 12 two-meter pleated polyester voile panels with sunray pleats (bias-cut knife pleats, narrower at the top than at the bottom, producing a flared effect), printed with white peacock feather designs. There are over 130 costumes in Amaluna, made up of nearly 1000 different items. 6

8 Music Composers Bob & Bill s mission was to create a unique, raw sound for Amaluna, and to surprise by means of the unexpected. Guitars are very present and the overall sound is resolutely contemporary. Bass, drums, cello, vocals, keyboards, percussion support the guitars in delivering a direct music without embellishment. We wanted to unleash the power in the raw state that artists and musicians bring to the stage, explain Bob & Bill. The musicians share the stage with acrobats at times, which combines perfectly with the energy of the score. Amaluna is the first Cirque du Soleil show with an all-female group of musicians. We wanted to reflect the guts and intense attitude of these musicians through the music itself, they add. Bob & Bill are known for their ability to blur the lines between genres and styles to create an intricately woven visual style. We created a sound for the show that would follow the emotional line of the acrobatic numbers, they say. Each act has its own respiration and rhythm, its own arc and the music should reflect this. The music is an extension of the soul of a character and an expression in sound of the show s narrative. 7

9 Set Design Amaluna director Diane Paulus is known for productions that go beyond the boundaries of a conventional theatrical setting to involve the audience in immersive environments. Scott Pask s set creates a mysterious, verdant, enchanted island whose most important feature is a carefully crafted forest of bamboo-like branches that both frame and surround the action. Taking his cues from the natural world, especially from forests and plant life, Scott has created an environment that is both immersive and open, with plenty of space for dramatic rituals and ceremonies as well as acrobatic performances. An Island Forest The trees thrust upward from the circumference of the Amaluna stage and the Big Top s tent poles to form an airy canopy. Upstage, the vegetation grows closer to the ground, forming a tunnel-like grotto. The branches and limbs of the canopy are unmistakably engineered constructions, and the visual references to bamboo are quite evident. It was important to Scott that the forest should be seen to be hand-crafted, however there was no attempt to disguise its components as anything actually found in nature nothing has been given a patina to look like wood, for example. Yet the feeling of being in a real forest is palpable. The peacock feather decoration that occupies much of the middle of the Amaluna stage is a significant emblematic motif that is echoed in some of Mérédith Caron s iridescent costumes. The peacock images in the show are inspired by the magnificent bird that accompanies Hera, the Greek goddess of women, marriage and fertility. Legend tells us that the protective eyes in its tail watch over women in all the stages of their lives. Light and Tone Scott, who initially trained as an architect, regards the entire space as more of an art installation than a stage set, and he has used light to activate it and take the audience to other places and evoke different emotional responses. During the intense drama of the storm, for example, the lighting casts the shadows of the branchlike canopy onto the surface of the Big Top to create a momentary feeling of heightened danger. The Water-bowl is a piece of acrobatic equipment that doubles as a dramatic set element. It resembles a giant, clear gemstone set in a ring of stylized organic shapes that resemble a vortex captured in time. As it interacts with the lighting, this jewel changes its appearance and aura, much like a real precious stone. 8

10 Wheels within Wheels There are relatively few moving parts in the set design, and that was a deliberate choice intended to add a certain elegance to the performances by concentrating the audience s attention on the human performance. There are no visual effects in the Amaluna set, and the automated mechanical elements are designed to be inconspicuous almost invisible even though they are in plain view. Circular sections of the stage revolve to ensure that the entire audience can see each act from every angle, and that movement is matched by a circular scenic element above the stage: the Carousel a custom-made ring that houses downwardfacing lighting clusters as well as anchor points for flying acrobatic performers. At times stationary, at times moving, the Carousel can revolve in sync with the stage, or counter-rotate in the opposite direction to give both the artists and the lighting maximum flexibility and range of vertical and horizontal motion. It also allows aerial performers to fly out over the heads of the audience, which emphasizes the immersive concept of the set. Some Facts about Set Elements The Canopy: There are 174 branches in 534 sections 90 in the canopy and 84 upstage making a total of 1.7 km or 1.05 miles. There are three models of branches in the canopy and 35 in the upstage. The Carousel and the Grid: The 25-ft diameter Carousel weighs 6,000 lbs. The Grid weighs 8,600 lbs and includes three acrobatic winches, each able to lift loads up to 400 lbs at 10 feet per second. The acrobatic winch in the centre of the Carousel can lift up to 1,000 lbs at 10 feet per second. The Water-bowl: The Water-bowl is 5 5 tall, 7 3 in diameter, and weighs 5,500 lbs when filled with water. The Chandeliers: The six Chandeliers are made of aluminum tubes bent and positioned to create the effect of a mobile with a span of 14.5 ft. 9

11 Creators Biographies GUY LALIBERTÉ GUIDE AND FOUNDER Guy Laliberté was born in Québec City in An accordionist, stilt-walker and fire-eater, he founded Quebec s first internationally-renowned circus with the support of a small group of accomplices. A bold visionary, Guy Laliberté recognized and cultivated the talents of the street performers from the Fête foraine de Baie-Saint-Paul and created Cirque du Soleil in Guy Laliberté was the first to orchestrate the marriage of cultures and artistic and acrobatic disciplines that is the hallmark of Cirque du Soleil.

16 Rob Bollinger was a competitive trampolinist at the age of 9 and partnered with his father on the invention of the double mini trampoline as his family owned a trampoline club in Illinois, where he grew up. He studied Business at Indiana University on a scholarship as a competitive springboard diver. He won two national diving championships and qualified for the 1980 and 1984 Olympics trials. He did not make the team on either occasion, and at first turned away from the world of competitive sports. Rob tried his hand at a variety of jobs in aeronautics and insurance, but always found the pull of acrobatics too strong to resist, so he went to work in diving shows in theme parks, which led him all over Europe. On his return to the United States he put his talents as a diver and trampolinist to work in film and television as a professional stunt man, notably for Universal Studios. Rob joined Cirque du Soleil in 1993 during the creation of the first resident show Mystère as a coach and artist in the show s original house troupe. In 1997 he joined O, first as a coach, then as artistic coordinator and eventually he was appointed the production s artistic director. He also added the artistic direction of Mystère to his responsibilities. This is Rob s second Cirque du Soleil production as Acrobatic Performance Designer after ZAIA. ROB BOLLINGER ACROBATIC PERFORMANCE DESIGNER In 1984, after some eye-opening encounters at Zingaro Circus (France), Fred left a career drilling for oil to tap into circus arts. Among the first to graduate from the National Centre for Circus Arts in Châlons-sur-Marne (France) as a flying trapeze porter, Fred was approached to become a trapeze artist in the Cirque du Soleil show Nouvelle Expérience. Forced to leave the stage following an injury, he became assistant to the show s director and artistic director. He went on to assume the role of Tour Artistic Coordinator. After a short stint in Europe, he returned to Cirque du Soleil, taking his first steps in acrobatic equipment design for the shows Alegría and Mystère. Working as Head Rigger and training circus technicians at Cirque du Soleil International Headquarters in Montreal, he then took up these duties on several touring shows between 1997 and With the help of his circus friends, Fred co-founded the Nickel Chrome group in Martigues in the South of France.

18 Village on Wheels Cirque du Soleil s mobile village includes the Big Top, one large entrance tent, artistic tent, kitchen, offices, warehouses and more. Completely self-sufficient for electrical power, the site relies only on a local water supply and telecommunication facilities to support its infrastructure. The Site The site takes 5 days to set up and 3 days to deconstruct and includes the installation of the Big Top, the VIP Rouge tent, entrance and artistic tents, box office, administrative offices, and a kitchen and dining area for the cast and crew. A total of 65 trucks transport close to 2,000 tons of equipment that Amaluna carries around. A few of these trucks are used as storage spaces and workshops. 6 generators (350 kilowatts) provide electricity to the Big Top and the entire set-up. The Big Top, the artistic tent and the VIP Rouge tent are climate controlled. The Entrance Tent A large entrance tent holds the box office, merchandise, food and beverage counters. The VIP Rouge section The VIP Rouge section hosts up to 120 guests and is available for private functions. The Artistic Tent The artistic tent includes a wardrobe area, dressing rooms, a fully equipped training area and a physiotherapy room. The Big Top Conceived by a team of Canadian engineers, the canvas was produced by a French company who specializes in sails and big tops: Les Voileries du Sud-Ouest. The Kitchen The kitchen is the heart of the village not only does it serve between meals per day, six days a week it is also the meeting place for cast and crew alike. The canvas for the tent and its 11 tunnels weigh approximately kg. The Big Top stands 19 meters high, 51 meters in diameter and is supported by four masts, each 25 meters tall. The Big Top seats more than 2,600 people and requires a team of approximately 85 people to raise it. 17

19 Fast Facts AMALUNA Amaluna had its World Premiere in Montréal on April 19, 2012 and since then has been performing in Canada and the United States before heading to Europe to Premiere in Madrid in Amaluna marks Diane Paulus first collaboration with Cirque du Soleil, a renowned theatre director from New York. The cast of Amaluna comprise a majority of female, including a 100% female band. Cast and Crew The cast of Amaluna comprises 46 artists. An additional 64 employees travel with the show to serve the functions of artistic management, customer service, tour services and technicians for the show and the site setup. All 110 of the cast and crew represent total of 18 nationalities; Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, China, France, Japan, Mexico, Mongolia, Netherlands, New Zealand, Russia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Ukraine, United Kingdom and the United States. Although you will generally hear French and English spoken on-site, many other languages are spoken: Chinese, Spanish, Russian, Japanese and more. The tour relies on local suppliers for many essentials such as food, bio-diesel fuel, dry ice, machinery, food & beverages for patrons, banks, delivery services, recycling, and waste management thereby injecting significant money into the local economy. During an engagement in a city, over 150 people are hired locally for a variety of jobs including box office ticket sellers, corporate hospitality hosts, ushers, food and beverage attendants, merchandising sales staff, kitchen attendants and prep-cooks, janitors and a receptionist. We also employ over 100 local stagehands to assist with the site set-up and tear down. The kitchen employs one touring kitchen manager and 3 cooks. Two performance medicine people (one performance medicine supervisor and one therapist) travel with the tour. 18

20 CIRQUE DU SOLEIL AT A GLANCE From a group of 20 street performers at its beginnings in 1984, Cirque du Soleil is a major Québec-based organization providing high-quality artistic entertainment. The company has close to 4,000 employees, including 1,300 artists from more than 50 different countries. Cirque du Soleil has brought wonder and delight to close to 160 million spectators in more than 400 cities in over sixty countries on six continents. For more information about Cirque du Soleil, visit THE MISSION The mission of Cirque du Soleil is to invoke the imagination, provoke the senses and evoke the emotions of people around the world. THE CREATION OF CIRQUE DU SOLEIL It all started in Baie-Saint-Paul, a small town near Québec City in Canada. There, in the early eighties, a band of colourful characters roamed the streets, striding on stilts, juggling, dancing, breathing fire, and playing music. They were Les Échassiers de Baie-Saint-Paul (the Baie-Saint-Paul Stiltwalkers), a street theatre group founded by Gilles Ste-Croix. Already, the townsfolk were impressed and intrigued by the young performers including Guy Laliberté who founded Cirque du Soleil. The troupe went on to found Le Club des talons hauts (the High Heels Club), and then, in 1982, organized La Fête foraine de Baie-Saint-Paul, a cultural event in which street performers from all over met to exchange ideas and enliven the streets of the town for a few days. La Fête foraine was repeated in 1983 and Le Club des talons hauts attracted notice, and Guy Laliberté, Gilles Ste-Croix and their cronies began to cherish a crazy dream: to create a Québec circus and take the troupe travelling around the world. In 1984, Québec City was celebrating the 450th anniversary of Canada s discovery by Jacques Cartier, and they needed a show that would carry the festivities out across the province. Guy Laliberté presented a proposal for a show called Cirque du Soleil (Circus of the Sun), and succeeded in convincing the organizers. And Cirque du Soleil hasn t stopped since! A Few statistics In 1984, 73 people worked for Cirque du Soleil. Today, the company hires close to 4,000 employees worldwide, including 1,300 artists. At the Montreal International Headquarters alone, there are close to 1,500 employees. More than 100 types of occupations can be found at Cirque. The company s employees and artists represent more than 50 nationalities and speak 25 different languages. More than 160 million spectators have seen a Cirque du Soleil show since Close to 15 million have seen a Cirque du Soleil show in Cirque du Soleil hasn t received any grants from the public or private sectors since 1992.
