This Concept for a Cirque du Soleil Theater is as Dynamic as the Show Within

— April 3, 2015 — Art & Design
It's hard to do the Canadian acrobatic entertainment company justice through verbal or even visual expression; however, this Cirque du Soleil Theater does an beautiful job of capturing the energetic spirit behind the talented troupe. Lenka Petrakova, Roman Hajtmanek, Viki Sandor and Piotrek Prokopowicz collaborated on this wonderfully dynamic architectural representation of the group, designed to be the setting of an even more innovative show.

The Body-Performance Theater is an abstract mass composed of circles, curves and soft bends that dance upon the open foundations. The relationship between indoors and outdoors is complicated, matching the mixup of audience seating space and the stage for the expert gymnasts. The Cirque du Soleil Theater embodies an organic architectural language that's gradually becoming more prevalent.
Trend Themes
1. Abstract Architecture - The emergence of organic architectural designs like the Body-Performance Theater highlights an opportunity for architects to create innovative structures that seamlessly integrate with nature.
2. Experiential Entertainment - The conceptualization of the Cirque du Soleil Theater presents an opportunity for entertainment companies to create immersive shows that engage audiences beyond traditional stage setups.
3. Blurring Indoor-outdoor Spaces - The complex relationship between indoor and outdoor spaces in the Body-Performance Theater offers opportunities for architects to explore new ways of designing flexible spaces that can adapt to changing environmental conditions.
Industry Implications
1. Architecture and Design - Designers and architects can leverage organic architectural concepts to create innovative and ecologically friendly structures that seamlessly blend with their surroundings.
2. Entertainment - Entertainment companies can use experiential entertainment concepts to create immersive and engaging shows that revolutionize the way live performances are presented to audiences.
3. Construction - The idea of blurring indoor-outdoor spaces presents opportunities for construction companies to innovate and develop new materials and technologies that can help create flexible, adaptable spaces.
