So Crystal is the story of a girl struggling to find her place in society.
And ends up, you know, going out onto a winter pond
and then falling through the ice,
and in fact the whole show sort of transpires while she is under the ice.
She has a vision.
She goes into her subconscious,
which is a transformation of reality.
Allegorically speaking, it's this idea that sometimes to get
to sort of the most brilliant parts of ourself,
you have to go to these deep depths and get in touch with the sort of darker,
perhaps, side of ourselves but then bring that up to the light.
It seems like a very natural extension of Cirque du Soleil
to bring the performance to ice and to actually take ice disciplines
and push them further as Cirque always does.
Saint-Roch, Canada Week 3
Good afternoon to you all.
A pleasure to see you for week 3.
We're very happy with where we're at, I believe.
Cirque had already been exploring the possibility of producing an ice show
for a good decade at least.
And 1, 2, 3, 4.
5, 6, 7, 8!
About a year ago, we were approached
about revisiting that idea.
1, 2 and 3 and 4 and 5, 6, 7, 8
and 1, 2 and 3 and 4 and 5, 6, 7, 8. 1, 2…
We just begin the office,
which is the part that everybody is at their desk,
they're crazy, crazy automatic
and they're working so hard they're getting crazier and crazier.
That's the second rehearsal of that
and we just had 2 hours so far, which is pretty, pretty good,
so that tells me that I can add a lot of choreography, which is great.
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 1…
Whoooo!
I need a D right there.
Super.
Today we're recording with Mathieu Désy,
who plays both electric and double bass.
You can get some great sounds from software programs,
but they will never match
what a real musician can bring.
In Crystal, we go into many different musical styles,
to illustrate all of the different worlds she dreams up.
So to find the show's unifying element,
we had to try a different approach. It's not done with the musical style;
it's really when you listen to the show's music as a whole that you're like,
"Oh, I get it. I've heard this theme before."
The theme comes back a few times in the show
to remind us that it's all happening while she's under water.
Week 7
So today, we are presenting an acrobatic presentation of where we are right now.
The goal of this is to make sure that everybody in the company knows where we are
in terms of evolution in the creation of the show.
Today, we have about a dozen performances for you.
I would say it's still a preliminary version, especially in terms of the acrobatics.
And music… Go!
Week 8
That's our new house.
It's like a real stage.
It's not an ice rink anymore, it's a stage.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's getting real!
Welcome to block 2 and week 8!
As you've seen coming into the building, the set is here, yes.
Also, all other technical aspects are up in the air as well,
so lighting, video, sound as well.
Just one note: We're going 6 days a week starting this week, all right?
So longer hours, longer weeks.
We're going through a lot together. It's a process.
We're really pushing along with the numbers and we made a lot of progress.
Oh, nice!
So even though we're on the ice a lot,
I feel like every minute is very well spent.
Yeah, we're all hanging in there and we're all together.
You know, we got a good group here, so it makes things easier.
Right from the beginning,
the acrobats started to learn to skate
and the skaters started to learn some acrobatic moves
and from that moment, everybody realized how difficult
each other's strengths were and had an amazing respect for one another,
so it's been wonderful to see that happen.
My big challenge is to skate now.
I need to do juggling on the ice, but it's cool.
It's easy to do what you know.
What's harder is adapting to everything around you,
all the new elements—it's a nice challenge.
There's a number that I do with some of the other girls that's very,
like, modern and artistic that I, like, I'm like obsessed with, so.
It's, like, my little chance to show what I can do.
We've got a young guy
from Mongolia called Ochir
who'll be balancing on chairs at a pretty impressive height.
I start when I was 9 years old,
contortion and handstand.
On top, I just hear my breath, also heartbeat.
I feel all of that,
like all the way through you have to feel the chairs' legs, you know,
like, with your part of your body.
If you don't feel the chairs gonna kick you out.
Week 11
Meanwhile, we've taken things a little further.
We have interactive video,
which is video that reacts to the skaters and that changes
based on what they're doing.
I would say we've tried to create our own aesthetic.
Sometimes we go for more of a vintage,
1960s feel, something a little crazy.
But at other times, we go to extremes that are more futuristic,
with lines and a more minimalist look.
It has to be clear that all the worlds we explore in the show
are in her head.
So we thought, if we're dealing with memory,
memory is not linear;
it can jump from one thing to another.
So I would say each scene has a different influence.
Shading all the naked parts.
We're at the moment in the process where the artists start to learn
to do their own make up.
I have 14 pages of step-by-step make-up I have to learn.
So the biggest challenge for them is to being totally beginners in make-up
and to do like a professional type of make-up,
so we're showing them everything like how to hold a brush,
how to blend, how to be precise and everything.
Crystallize the world. There you go, guys.
There's a little Crystal for you.
For a lot of them it's very new stuff,
so they never did that before, especially guys.
This is really the first time we've ever done this.
For example, our eyebrows are uneven.
Never done before.
The make-up is the most stressful part. More than the show.
Week 13
Things are moving fast. We are almost ready to leave.
I think people are pretty excited about moving on to Lafayette, Louisiana,
so we'll have all of our tools with us
because we are missing a few pieces here due to the building configuration.
I'm someone new in a new place.
Lafayette, United States Week 15
A sharp tingle. A chill. A smell I've never smelled.
Steel. Glass. Tall. Taller.
The air is crowded.
I am something else.
We have a show now.
In St-Roch, we had maybe 70% of the show
because we didn't have the track and trolley,
which takes us from one place to another.
We had a run-through with an audience yesterday. It was a great dress rehearsal.
Everyone was in costume.
The show brings us inside the mind of our main character, Crystal,
and at that moment, she discovers her inner voice
and everything happens through her writing.
So I started with this idea of making marks, of writing,
to kind of see all the characters in her own words.
The hard work always pays off.
To develop something like this on this big of a scale of a show,
it takes the 12 to 15 hours,
it takes the coming in extra early, getting the warmup,
leaving a little bit later just to finish things up.
I can't wait to start this tour.
Montreal World Premiere
This is the world premier in Montreal.
So everybody is excited, everybody is
somehow perhaps nervous on some levels.
Since Lafayette we have been working on the fine tuning mostly
and also just
making sure the performers really are getting comfortable
within the parts they portray and the roles that they play.
I'm so happy about the show.
I'm so excited to be here for the world premier
and to see
all the work that's been now put in over so many months
and to see it all finally coming together
and really gelling and looking so beautiful.
I just can't wait.
We are super excited for tonight.
I feel like it's been a long time coming for us to get to Montreal
since we created the show
and it's going to be really exciting to see the reaction this evening.
Stressed—well, pressure is normal.
But no, it's okay— I think we're ready.
I think we've worked well, we've worked hard
these last several weeks and months.
And we've really turned up the heat in the last few days
so that it's—well, we'll try to be perfect for the premiere.
The public is the best part of the performance
because their reaction lets you know how you're doing
and I've done my job well if I can make somebody laugh
or cry or react in any way, so that's the best part.
I am incredibly, incredibly, incredibly proud and excited
to introduce Crystal to Montreal.
A year ago when we were writing it, we had storyboards
and scenarios and I feel like when I see the show now,
I see all of those storyboards, I see those first scripts
and that's an amazing feeling to have thought of like a little seed
of something and watch it come to life on such huge scale.
We're gonna remember this day for the rest of our lives
and we're spending it together and I'm really honoured
to spend it with all of you amazing, amazing, amazing people.
Everyone be safe, have fun.
This is the beginning of an amazing journey.
Thank you all. Merci.
I want to welcome the world of skating and skaters
because this is a brand new world and it was such a fun time to mix
and not to do a show that we've done,
like with circus people, but to have a new family.
We joined together with the acrobats
and I think we opened a door and I hope people will do more shows like that
and we had a blast and you guys you were so good,
I don't want to do any more shows in my life.
This is the end of my career. It's over! I'm done! I'm done. Thank you.
