HARMONY AMONG THE ELEMENTS
As the wheel of time turns, the universe, like the acrobat, searches for a perfect balance among the elements. Air, water, fire and earth assume human form and evolve into worlds defined by their own vivid colours.

AZALA (AIR)
Azala is the goddess of Air. She is the guardian of the sun and immortality, floating above timeless space in hues of blue.
Uuve Hanna JANSSON (Sweden)

GAYA (EARTH)
Gaya is the goddess of Earth. She possesses within her human warmth (fire) and the cool, fresh vitality of life (water). She adorns herself in ochre.
Kafi PIERRE (Canada)

OCEANE (WATER)
Oceane is goddess of Water. As queen of movement she controls, through the art of dance, the movement of the oceans. Her universe is green.
Celine ALWYN (Australia

YAO (FIRE)
The guide to the fiery demons, he commands the rhythm of the show. He symbolizes both good and evil. He sees life in vivid red.
Billy CHANG (Chinese Taipei)

THE CLOWNS
All is well in the best of worlds. However, these clever clowns manage to push this otherwise harmonious universe just slightly off-kilter.
Philippe AYMARD (France), Gerry REGITSCHNIG (Austria), Hayden SPENCER (Australia), Guto VASCONCELOS (Brazil)

LITTLE BUDDHA
The Little Buddha is the chosen child. Although it possesses special powers that will allow it to eventually become an Âme-Force, it dreams of being just a regular child.
Anna ROUDENKO (Ukraine)

THE VOCALS - L'ÂME-FORCE
The voices of Dralion sing an invented language to which only Cirque du Soleil holds the key. Their mysterious accents echo down through time: L'Âme-Force symbolises ultimate harmony between the four elements.
