#2I never liked circus. It was mildly interesting in tv or movies. The one time that I went to a show, I was lucky enough to be far from the action: a lion sprayed the two front rows. The smell was everywhere, everything had a sad vibe, even (maybe specially) the clowns. Only trapeze artists saved the evening for me.
Cirque du Soleil was an entirely different matter. Everything was shiny, cool, happy. My son had a great time. I had a great time. Sad to see them close. Hope they can come back to life somehow.

Why? Were they unsustainable in any way? When I went to their show, the tickets were sold out very fast. It was long ago anyway.

To be fair, Cirque du Soleil is closer to art than it’s to circus.

Cirque du Soleil certainly are different and work like a tightly knit family, they do have the advantage of not being a traveling show though.
Having been back-stage at a circus many times for work, it's a really tough and hard life to live in...
They eventually removed all of their animals from their show, not because of external pressure, but because they could no longer care for the animals as they used to.
For those that haven't seen their VR experience, try and see it, it's jaw-dropping good.
