CIRQUE DU SOLEIL INC.
LAS VEGAS, NV

Founded in Montreal, Canada by Guy Laliberté and René Dupré in the early 1980s, Cirque du Soleil began as a novel venture that combined circus arts with street performance. Its inaugural province-wide tour in Quebec marked the onset of its global rise in fame. Distinguished from traditional circuses by the absence of animal acts, Cirque du Soleil emphasized creativity and theatricality through vibrant costumes, innovative music, and dynamic set designs. Expanding beyond Canada in 1987, the company premiered 'We Reinvent the Circus' at the Los Angeles Festival to critical acclaim. The show's unprecedented design and audience engagement marked a new era of artistic evolution that led to worldwide tours across North America, Europe, Asia, South America, and Las Vegas—a city where permanent productions like 'Mystère' have enjoyed decades of success. Beyond live performances, Cirque du Soleil diversified its offerings into films, apparel, nightclubs, and more. At its core, however, the company remains dedicated to inspiring imagination and stimulating emotions through artistic innovation. The International Headquarters, based in Montreal's Saint-Michel borough, serves as a creative hub that houses training facilities, studios for performance development, and gardens that support sustainable practices by providing food for employee meals. With nearly 400 specialists contributing to over 25,000 show elements globally, the company’s creative team continues to innovate across multiple domains. Cirque du Soleil's corporate status is registered under the Florida Models DOS as an OC Incorporated For-Profit Corporation (FORP) with File Number F01000006101 and was incorporated on November 26, 2001. The official address is located at 1151 Grier Drive, Las Vegas, NV. Notable officers include Daniel Lamarre as Executive Director.
