Musical and bodily difference in Cirque du SoleilCirque du Soleil produces sold-out performances worldwide on a nightly basis. They are a global circus featuring bodies from almost every continent and many nationalities, and it is universally acknowledged that the nouveau circus troupe’s performers seem to defy gravity and bodily physics. Musical otherness—here another extraordinary, multiplicitous body—comingles with bodily otherness in Cirque du Soleil’s productions, which intersect with turn-of-the-century side shows and freak shows. From cleaned-up hip-hop tracks to countertenors (La Nouba, 1999), and Tuvan throat singers to Bulgarian chorus (Worlds Away, 2012), the Cirque delivers a soundtrack so unrecognizable to the listener that the audience is normalized via the universal estranging effect of the music. Cirque du Soleil’s support of emergent artists such as freak show photographer Wayne Schoenfeld further reinforces the circus’s concrete practice of freakery in a visual context. [editor summary]

Fire within 1 : episodes 1-5Fire Within begins eight months prior to opening night when it remains to be seen how the performers, who have come from around world, will survive the enormous physical and emotional demands placed upon them. Throughout the captivating series, cameras document the human experience'the drama and comedy, the victories and setbacks and, above all, the desire to succeed that burns within these extraordinary individuals.

This addictive, Emmy Award-winning series has all the human turmoil of reality television, but the subjects have actual talent--it's a 13-part documentary about the young acrobats of Cirque du Soleil, watching them struggle with the physical rigors and emotional demands of creating a new show (the acclaimed Varekai). Fire Within focuses on eight performers, among them Gareth, a temperamental Brit whose sculpted physique features multiple tattoos; Stella, a young African American trapeze artist who's a bit of a diva; Oleg, a 35-year-old Russian circus professional trying to shift his talents to dance; Olga, a Cirque veteran as a contortionist, being given a starring role in this new show. Skillfully edited, Fire Within follows the performers along the stressful path from auditions to opening. The show gains surprisingly intimate access into their lives, capturing the strength and vulnerability of people whose bodies are their art--and not everyone rises to the challenges they face.
