Cirque du Soleil have earned an enthusiastic worldwide following for their performances, which redefine the concept of circus entertainment, and this special home-video release documents a typically spectacular show from the Montreal-based troupe. Cirque du Soleil: La Nouba incorporates dance, acrobatics, magic, music, and a number of other performance techniques to explore the contrast among the different people of the world and the bridges between the physical and emotional planes of existence. The show was filmed live at its permanent home at Disney World in Orlando.
