The "Cirque du Soleil" is a huge entertainment company from Canada. Founded in 1984 by street performer Guy Laliberté, it now employs about 5,000 people worldwide, of which about 1,300 artists originate from about 50 countries.
In the shows of this magic circus theater artists and musicians perform. The Cirque du Soleil abandons any animal acts and sets his sights purely on human artistry and magic. In the early days of Cirque du Soleil Guy Laliberte, after a successful performance for the 450th anniversary of Canada, employed about 73 employees. They made it their mission, to enchant visitors in a blue yellow tent with a mix of acrobatics and street theater.

In the 1990s, the circus then settled with own shows as an overseas tour to Europe and Asia. Here one put together a program for Asia which was entitled "Fascination". For Europe, for the tenth anniversary in 1994, the most successful show "Alegría", as well as "Saltimbanco", which on the basis of the Netherlands, Germany and Austria became world famous throughout North America even as far away as to Tokyo.
