This production from Cirque du Soleil is a lyrical, fanciful, kinetic foray into the seventh art. Bringing together dance, acrobatics, live video, filmed sequences and animation, the show takes spectators on a fantastic voyage through the history of cinema and its genres, taking them into the heart of the movie-making process. From illustration to animation, black and white to colour, silent films to talkies, fixed shots to swooping camera movements, spectators witness the poetic construction/deconstruction of this art as an object and as a way of transcending reality.

La création du Cirque du Soleil racontant l'histoire d'Icare, dont les ailes fondent lorsqu'il vole au plus près de la course, l'envoyant s'écraser dans le monde volcanique et mystérieux de Varekai.

Cirque du Soleil: Fire Within is an Emmy award winning Canadian reality television series first broadcast in 2002.
