If you mention the circus to most people,they think of animals which are made to do tricks and are kept in cages.The Cirque du Soleil is very different.The performers are not animals.They are all human.
Audiences everywhere are enthralled by the performers at Cirque du Soleil.These amazing acrobats do more than just swing on trapezes:they bungee jump;they swing up,down and around Chinese poles;and they contort their bodies in amazing ways.People come from far and wide to see their show.
Cirque du Soleil began in 1984 when two French-Canadian street-performers,Giles Ste-Croix,a slit-walker,and Guy Laliberte,a fire eater,decides to form a circus without animals.They made up a troupe with people from all over the world.Tight-wire artist Wang Jing-min is Chinese,Rene Bazinet is a clown from Germany,and the Lorador brothers,who do a brilliant hang-balancing act,are from Portugal.During the performance of the curent show,nine different languages are spoken backstage.
For the show's young performers the circus is their life.Laurence Racine,a seventeen-year-old French girl,is a contortionist who has been in the circus since the age of eleven.Her mother used to travel with the circus as a wardrobe assistant when Laurence first started,but now Laurence is on her own.Laurence misses her family but she has made many fiends in the circus.'We are like a big friendly family because we grew together.We train together,perform together,even eat together and share rooms.It's all very intense'.
Laurence performs an amazing acrobatic act with three other girls.'It may look simple,'says Laurence ,'but we have practised for six years to get it absolutely right.In the circus,you won't succeed unless you are both physically and mentally strong'.
Laurence,who looks younger than her seventeen years,is not excluded from education or exams.In fact she has school lessons for six hours a day.'But I feel that I have grown up very fast in the circus.Friends at home who are yhe same age as me are waiting for their lives to begin,but I feel than I have already done lot with my life.I've travelled all over the world and I'm doing something I really enjoy.I wouldn't want to do anything else,even if I had yhe chance.My life may not appear normalto other teenagers,but it's normal to me and I love it.
