Cirque du Soleil - Quidam

Cirque du Soleil = "Circus of Sun"


Cirque du Soleil was founded in 1984 by two former street-artists, called Guy Laliberté and Daniel Gauthier.
They made up their minds about not having circus’ ring and animals on the shows to bring the viewer closer to the performer.
The Cirque du Soleil has been described as a modern circus, full of stories and astonishing performances.
This company has many shows traveling around the world with different themes and teams, and others in permanent places.



This year, we´re having in Brazil a Cirque du Soleil presentation called Quidam.
“Quidam” comes from Latin and It’s pronounced “key-dam”.
It means an anonymous passerby, a solitaire figure in any street. Someone who goes by quickly and feels lonely in the middle of the crowd.
The Creation’s Director, Franco Dragone, walked by New York streets when he realized
something strange and very common at the same time: people don’t look at each other!
Quidam’s objective goes beyond entertainment and leisure: It’s to make human-beings reconnect, respect, show interest, and look at each other.
This show celebrates the person who, inside each one of us, shouts, sings and dances.
The are four brazilian artists on Quidam´s team: Denise Wal, Gracilene Oliveira de Moura, Rafael Munhoz e Jailton Carneiro.



BEHIND THE SCENES
• Show’s figurine has about 1000 items including clothes, shoes, hats and wigs.
• They repair all the items that need to be fixed after every show.
• The Wigs are made with true hair and in the shape of the artist’s head. There is a custom assistent to take care of them.
• Everything is very neat and organized by artist’s name.

OSCAR 2010






The 2010 Oscars had a lot of great movies and great surprises.






The biggest of them, indeed, was the fact that "Avatar"(James Cameron) lost the award of best movie, and to whom? Katryn Bigelow's "The Hurt Locker", that is already a surprise, but Cameron's disappointment was even bigger because Bigelow is his ex wife! She also won as best director.



Of course, as expected, Avatar got awards like best sound and special effects.



As the best actor, the expectation was right and Cristoph Walts, staring as a soldier, got the oscar.



Sandra Bullock won by best actress, Bullock has a great talent to all kinds of roles, since comedy to dramas. She deserved it.





Some other winners:



* Best actor - Jeff Bridges (Crazy Heart)



* Best Supporting Actress - Mo' nique (Preciosa)



* Best animation - Up Altas Aventuras



* Best Art Director - Avatar
