Cirque du Soleil Show DRALION – Costumes and Plot


this ship’s a Soleil show is described
as a harmonious blend of eastern and
western acrobatic prowess hi I’m Rebecca
Brayton and welcome to watchmojo.com and
today we’ll be learning more about
Italian tell us about some of the
performances that we’ll see in the
different characters the major
characters you’ve got to what we call
the armed force which like would be the
sole the ones or the guide or some of
them see them as parents they’re there
to guide the youngers and to make them
all learn and work together after that
you’ve got the four elements which is
what we need which would be the second
layer they kind of fight for their place
and they want to be better than the
other but they have to learn from the
Armed Forces to work as a team and then
you’ve got their troop which is very
easy to recognize by the colors which
are linked with their main character
now in terms of the costumes what was
your inspiration well the inspiration
started with DiCaro that is the director
of the show and he brought me a very
very generous documentation that he have
kept for years adding things so we did
discuss that I look at that and then I
took some ideas and redesigned some of
the stuff and show it to him and we
started like that it was like a layer
cake you know he liked things didn’t
like things so we tried to remove and
finally we came up with something to
work with with this solution it’s very
special because you have a workshop that
is really unique in the world
once you’re in production is fantastic
because you could do whatever you want
so yes people expert that will
specialize in doing fabric another one
will do bleeding you know you could work
with leather the only bærum is that you
have to work with fabric that will keep
the run fabric that will not be too
fragile so you it could last you know
for at least a year without having
redoing it but apart from that is really
heaven for it is
and what about the specific acrobatics
that we’ll see this one has a particular
incredible coupling wall the wall is
part of the set and there’s Trumpy at
the base and they have to basically
fight gravity every time they go up
there’s a hoop diving then is
breathtaking and the rhythm is fabulous
for me very difficult to pinpoint what
it is because they’re all in there
different ways very interesting what do
you think it is about the show that has
made it last so long there’s so many
details and it’s images I like to
compare our shows I can at paintings I
think there’s so many layers that from a
kid to an adult and there’s no specific
languages that stops people from not
understanding that everybody gets a
story but in a way they make their story
