Cirque In Branson Missouri. It has been described as the modern circus, and focuses upon a storyline
as well as amazing performances. It has several resident and touring troupes and draws heavily from
the circus tradition. Emphasizing the use of humans as performers, Cirque du Soleil does not make
use of animals. Acts include contortionists, jugglers, feats of strength, clowning, and trapeze
artists. Their costumes are very colorful. Cirque shows do not use pre-recorded music; all music
is played live, and in many performances the spoken parts are done in Cirquish, an imaginary
language invented by the company. Cirque shows begin as a creative concept, usually with elements
of a central story line, a design concept and the selection of a composer for the music. These
elements remain relatively constant throughout the production run of a given showAmong veteran
circus performers, Cirque is regarded as one of the world's best circuses, due to higher than normal
pay scales and benefits. Cirque du Soleil has produced a number of performance DVDs and soundtrack CDs.
