In the past American families cheered as the animals of the circus did their tricks. Today people are appalled by the treatment of many circus animals and they can no longer enjoy a traditional night out at the circus. Luckily there is a replacement for the old cruel ways, Cirque du Soleil has created an animal free circus that will delight the entire family.

Cirque du Soleil was born in Canada, developed by two street performers who struggled to get the show off the ground. After receiving a government grant to keep them afloat they enlisted the help of other performers including some circus specialist. The performance really started to gain popularity in the late 1980's and it has since grown from one show in Canada to over 15 shows on every continent except Africa.

Basically what those two street performers created was a modern circus with no animals. They combined performance styles from around the world and combined them with lights, music and a central theme that flows throughout each performance. You will be amazed at the strength and grace displayed by performers as they fly across the stage on colorful ropes and swing through the air on the trapeze.

In the past if you want to see the Cirque du Soleil you had to travel to one of the permanent sites for the show. Now certain performances of the show have taken to the road and you can see them at a venue near you.
