Cirque du Soleil is a Canadian entertainment company, which describes itself as a "dramatic assembly of circus arts and street entertainment" and headquartered in Quebec, Canada. It was created by former street performers Guy Laliberté and Daniel Gauthier in 1984. The origin of its name dates back to a day when Laliberté admired a sunset during a trip to Hawaii; shortly after he opted to use the French term "soleil" as a symbol whose meaning is "youth, dynamism and energy."
Each performance offers a repertoire of various circus styles from around the world, each with its own theme and distinct history. Thus, the team of Cirque du Soleil seeks to connect the audience to the performing arts through resources such as live music and artists instead of ordinary stagehands alternating accessories.

Years later, in 2008, as a result of a partnership with investment groups Istithmar World and Nakheel Dubai, United Arab Emirates, where Cirque plans to build a residence for one of his shows in 2012, Laliberté split 20% of its shares equally between both groups, provided finance future projects of the company at that emirato.Muchos other shows are in current development worldwide, including a line of womenswear television deal and a possible incursion into other means such as spas, restaurants and nightclubs.
