Yet another new show announcement.
LOS ANGELES (AFP) — Cirque de Soleil is to bring a new cinema-inspired show to Los Angeles from 2010, the Montreal-based circus and entertainment giant announced here Monday.
Under a 10-year-deal between the circus company and the owners of the Kodak Theatre in the heart of Hollywood — which hosts the Oscars — the troupe will perform 368 times a year at the 3,400-seat venue.
Although few details of the production were revealed, Cirque du Soleil founder Guy Laliberte said the show would reflect Hollywood’s prominent place in the history of cinema.
“(Hollywood films) changed the way we think and the way we live, and they’ve certainly had a positive influence on Cirque du Soleil,” Laliberte said in a statement. “We are thrilled to have found such a spectacular home in LA.”

The company now has close to 1,000 artists performing in 15 shows on tour or in residence around the world.
