AB - This study examines several of the Cirque du Soleil repertories for itsdistinguishing characteristics such as the narratives, technology and movement.
Based on this investigation, the study proposes to identify contents that could aidthe expansion of the dance genre in its choreographic contents.
Cirque du Soleil’s 「Alegria」, 「Quidam」, 「Totem」 and 「Zaia」 were selected foranalysis based on its extended success, in order to discuss the possible transferablecontents from Cirque du Soleil to the dance genre. Two works of dance companies:Les Ballets C de la B’s 「Evening Prayer」 and Ultima Vez’s 「Blush」 were utilized forfurther discussion.
The analysis of the Cirque du Soleil’s four works illustrates that the contentsentail captivating narratives, effective technology and movement that breaks freefrom physical limitations. These distinctive contents were clarified to parallel thosewithin the two dance works of 「Evening Prayer」 and 「Blush」.
Although the extent of the movement choreography differed, the fundamentalnature of both genres’ composition was identified to be similar. Therefore, it canbe acknowledged that the genre determines the nature of movement and itschoreography to best deliver the narrative for communication with the audience.
