The Development Process
Over the years, there has been growing public and media interest in learning more about the creative process behind a Cirque du Soleil show. Given the wealth of content possibilities, a series format would provide ample opportunities to present another side of Cirque du Soleil to television audiences: one revealing the creative process in more detail, the other, the human side of the process, revealing the ups and downs of the character's personal lives.
As a result Galafilm joined Cirque du Soleil Images in a partnership to co-produce the 13-episode series based on "life at Cirque du Soleil," using the opportune timing of the creation of the new live show, Varekai, as its backdrop.
