Cirque du Soleil Rehearsal Space



The metal-wrapped rehearsal space--70 feet tall, 132 feet long--matches the dimensions of the Cirque's permanent performance space in Las Vegas and the performance area of the circus tent. Its screen allows large audiences to view films and other projections from the plaza.
