Over-stimulation was the order of the day in exhibitions like the multimedia room, where three slide projectors flashed images on three walls, or the various photographs, paintings or installations hanging in every nook and cranny. Food and empty champagne glasses could be found in every nook, too, at the Cirque du Soleil opening celebration Nov. 30 at the Church, a space that normally houses rave parties. The press was barred from the event, but thanks to my favorite group of DJs, Earthtone Soundsystem , who supplied the deep house party favors, I was able to join in the festivities. While there, I ran into an old friend, whom I worked with the last time Cirque was here for Quidam. I was an usher back then, but when I relay the story to friends, I pretty it up by saying I did local PR for the French circus.
