About The Cirque: An American Odyssey
In 1988, the Cirque du Soleil toured the United States and set up its big top in New York City - a grand three-ring circus in itself! - garnering rave reviews. Behind the scenes, artists working in the fledgling Quebec circus talk about what it means to them to be a part of this success, and also the price they pay for sharing the American Dream.
Directed by Nathalie Petrowski, The Cirque: An American Odyssey leans on a strong ensemble — Michel Barette, Amélie Demay, Denis Lacombe — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about documentary titles of 1989.
