Wings presents the work of Veronique Vial, Parisian-born photographer who, for years, has been candidly documenting Cirque du Soleil, the world-renowned circus of mystery. Cirque du Soleil is dedicated to bravely reinventing the circus and to introducing popular audiences to the rich history of this remarkable performance medium. Over the past decade, the company has performed for millions of people throughout the world. Taken while on tour and behind the scenes, Vial's photographs show a more personal side of the circus performers as they prepare themselves for the big top. Vial's photographs reveal all the pageantry and spirit for which this band of performers has come to be recognized, while giving us an intimate view of the diverse personalities who have made this troupe so famous. Beautifully printed duotones bound in purple cloth, and wrapped in a copper and black dust jacket, this book will make a sumptuous addition to your collection. Discover the beauty of Cirque du Soleil!
