Wings: Backstage With Cirque Du Soleil!!!
Who hasn't reveled in the dream of running away to join the circus? This collection of stunning photographs will delight and inspire anyone who has always wanted to cast away the day-to-day and fly through dark and twinkling skies, defying gravity (and other rules). Photographer Veronique Vial has captured the essence of the circus immemorial. In the 83 black-and-white plates, we are privy to the world of the performers, some still in character and some not, some in a nonchalant mood while others playfully engage the camera. The images--strange, beautiful, and spectacular--epitomize the allure of the Cirque du Soleil. Turning the pages, one can hear the music filling the tent, and feel the awe and anticipation of the performance.--Elise Tissot
