But, Cirque du Soleil has redefined the meaning of the word and has taken it up a level - performance art without boundaries, ballet without gravity. And their intoxicating mixture of costume, music, stage design and showmanship has dazzled millions. Emmy award winning Cirque du Soleil: Cirque Reinvente !
