Answer 1

Cirque Du Soleil is a Canadian Circus founded by two Runaways and street performers in Montreal in the late 1970s. drawing inspiration from the traditions of traveling circuses, street performance, wide variaties of dance and theatre and the citys multi-cultural lnadscape, they created a circus that relied on human artistry rather then animals. they also founded there performances on stpry-telling, which was very un-common for a circus at the time. the name "cirque du soleil" is french, because the circus itself was french-canadian. it means "circus of the sun"
