Cirque du Soleil announced today the creation of a new digital content hub called CirqueConnect, available at cirquedusoleil.com/cirqueconnect. Moved by a desire to stay connected to its fans, Cirque du Soleil content hub provides a source of high-quality entertainment for fans to enjoy from the comfort of their homes, as current measures to combat the coronavirus (COVID-19) have suspended live viewing experiences across the globe.
Tomorrow, March 27, at 3:00 p.m. eastern time, the CirqueConnect content hub will be premiering a 60-minute special, featuring awe-inspiring moments from its iconic shows KURIOS – Cabinet of Curiosities, ‘’O’’, and LUZIA, for fans to enjoy until the time in which it is safe to meet again and return to our venues. Audiences of all ages will enjoy a front-row seat to these larger-than-life shows, with never-before seen angles that can only be experienced on the TV screen.
“We at Cirque du Soleil have a role to play in providing high-quality entertainment to our fans that are staying in their homes as this crisis unfolds. Now more than ever, our fans need the distraction that spectacle brings, a break from the chaos. We want to do our part to spread joy, even from afar, directly to them.”
Sheila Morin, CMO of Cirque du Soleil Entertainment Group.
The CirqueConnect content hub is filled with footage from our various multimedia offerings, including:
