About Cirque Du Soleil Mystere

 
Being first conceived in 1990, Cirque du Soleil Mystere was intended to be developed for Caesars Palace, incorporating Greco-Roman mythological themes. With the cost factor acting as a deterrent, the show was given a second life when it was picked up by Treasure Island in 1993. Though now having more financial leeway due to the Mirage Casino-Hotel footing the bill, the show creators had to contend with less creative freedom due to the more conservative preferences of their new client. Nevertheless, the production team comprising of ace director Franco Dragone, costume and set designers Dominique Lemieux and Michel Crête and the composing duo of Rene Dupéré and Benoit Jutras did their best to bring out a show rich in artistic, cultural and musical influences from across the world. And Mystere did not disappoint. So grab your Cirque du Soleil Mystere tickets soon.
 
As if embarking upon a journey of the discovery of life’s mystery, Mystere fuses together Cirque du Soleil’s hallmark high-energy athletic feats and stunning imagery with Greco-Balkan music and percussive sounds, such as the rhythmic ones of the Japenese taiko drums. The Clowns of Cirque du Soleil are much more than your typical circus buffoons and the one in the pre-show of Mystere, Brian Dewhurst, flirts with a little danger to perform his comical antics with effortless precision and child-like ease. The show, based around seven acts, opens up with the "Big Bang" created by the booming Taïko drums that assert the primitive beginnings of life and the chronologically transcendent nature of Mystere. The fascinating revolutions of the Aerial Cube complete with its human acrobat in the box give way to the pole gliding spotted artists whose slithering movements symbolize the creeping up of life along the evolutionary ladder.
 
Next, the brothers in (muscular) arms chart their synergetic movements across the rotating globe in a union of grace and awe inspiring strength. Their coordinated hand-and-body combinations perpetually teeter on the slipping edge yet seem to defy the laws of gravity. The Bungee bobbing trapeze artists, adorned in glittering avian costumed plumage, and the hurtling Korean Plank performers are followed by the trampoline bouncing performers that arc their actions as they hurl through the air.  Aerial Highbars that, though harking back to the traditional circus styked ones, have been customized by Cirque du Soleil to feature more than a dozen Russian high-flying athletes going through their routines some 40 feet above the stage in Mystere’s climatic segment.  
 
Having performed to more than 12 million patrons via more than 8,000 impressive instances, Cirque du Soleil Mystere mystifies its patrons with its dreamlike characters portrayed by a cast of 75 international performing artists. The most imposing is Alice, the ever-growing snail that transforms into a hulking inflatable puppet towards the show’s end, being controlled by four puppeteers. Other notable characters are the Spermatos/Spermatites the seeds of life, The Black Widow that is the antithesis of the graceful La Belle and Les Bébés, the baby that is ever-hungry and in need of warmth and care.
