In O, the story is about the water of life itself, how it bears us up, encompasses us as we live on dry ground, overpowers us, continues us, lastly suffocates us. Guy Lalibert, the billionaire behind the creation of Cirque du Soleil and PY1 pyramid, started his career as a street performer in his little town near.

JOHNSON SPACE CENTER, Houston-Guy Lalibert, a former street entertainer who founded the enormously successful Cirque du Soleil, says he doesn't plan any.

However an arrangement of connected scenes, planned to pass on a story, a general thought. In the early ’80s, Gilles Ste-Croix, the co-founder of Cirque du Soleil, was busy creating street shows in Quebec with young performers under the collective name Les Échassiers de Baie-Saint-Paul (the Baie-Saint-Paul Stilt walkers). Cirque du Soleil began as a troupe of 20 street performers.

Laliberté founded Cirque de Soleil in 1984 in Montreal, turning a passion for acrobatics and circus acts into a global entertainment empire. He announced his intention during the popular Radio Canada show "Tout le monde en parle" ("Everybody's talking about it"). Cirque du Soleil is among the most prominent spectacles that come to mind for many Canadians when thinking of the most famous live performance entertainment companies in Canadian history. Laliberte, a former stilt-walker-turned-millionaire who co-founded the troupe in 1984, sold his last remaining stake in Cirque in February.
