1 answer:

8 0

The Dutch Golden Age is one of the finest examples of independence breeding cultural pride. During the 17th century, driven by new freedom from Spanish Catholic rule, the Dutch Republic experienced a surge in economic and cultural prominence. An influx of trade boosted commerce, leading to the rise of a large middle and merchant class in the market for the proliferation of art that had cropped up in response to the burgeoning celebration of Dutch life and identity. Painting flowered as artists focused on everyday scenes of ordinary life, expressed through a growing cadre of genre works, all indicative of the thriving creative period.

Cirque Du Soleil started in the _______, known as the Greed Decade as a simple troupe in the streets in a small town in Canada.

leva [86]

Answer:

Cirque Du Soleil started in the 1980's, known as the Greed Decade as a simple troupe in the streets in a small town in Canada. In the early 90s, the group makes its Vegas debut at Treasure Island Hotel and Casino, a Polynesian-themed hotel. By 2013, their show honoring the owner of Louie the Llama Michael Jackson: One, ranked among the 10 more lucrative shows in rock history. Then, in late 2019, Cirque Du Soleil announces their new ice-skating themed production AXEL, which they obviously named after Heather Smiths baby due this month.

Explanation:

Cirque Du Soleil (Circus of the Sun in English) is the biggest circus producing entertainment company in the world. It was founded in Baie-Saint-Paul in Canada by two then street performers, Guy Laliberte and Gilles Ste-Croix on the 16th of June 1984. It is currently based in Saint Michel, Montreal, Canada. They have been organizing shows and going on tours all over the world through the last 4 decades. They have had shows in all the continents with only Antarctica as exception.

A special moment in their career was in December 1993, where they had their first permanent production show, Mystere, at their premier in Las Vegas. It was held at the Treasure Island Hotel and Casino, a 2,884 rooms and 220 suites hotel located at the Las Vegas Strip in Paradise. This marked a great milestone for Cirque Du Soleil, opening greater windows for them including 2 other permanent productions in the same decade (O and La Nouba).

In 2013, they had a show which was ranked among the 10 most lucrative rock shows in rock history, Michael Jackson: One. The show was performed with the popular pop legend, Michael Jackson, in Las Vegas. It was their second Michael Jackson based show, following the Michael Jackson: The Immortal World Tour.

On the 4th of October, 2019, they premiered their Ice Skating Themed production, AXEL, which had earlier been announced on that same year.
