So, my name is Brandon. I’m 32 years old.
I was an acrobat on TORUK – The First Flight before,
and now, I’ve come to VOLTA,
and we’re going for our first day in the Big Top for the orientation,
which is super exciting, so, yeah.
The whole crew is on their way!
Woohoo!
Yeah!
It will be a good day!
And there’s the Cirque du Soleil!
What a glorious day!
And here is the sun! We get to see the sun today.
I’m so excited!
Hello!
It’s good, the sun is out, for the first time in six months.
So I’m happy!
Alright, so we’ve just arrived at the Old Port.
Now we’re gonna rock ’n’ roll, and going to check out the Big Top.
Oh, my word!
What??
Sick!
So, welcome to your home!
This is really home.
This is where all the training will happen.
First of all, very big welcome to everybody.
This space becomes a very, very important part of your life on tour,
because we go to so many different cities,
you’re in different apartments, you’re in different hotels;
the only constant you have in your life is this, and the Big Top.
So it really does become your home,
and in a year’s time you’re going to realize that as well.
It’s really about embracing the difference that
we all come from different places,
we’re a multicultural environment, we learn from each other;
that’s the best part of working at Cirque as well,
and to say yeah, welcome to your new home.
I’m very happy, happy to be here!
Wow!
Amazing!
And it's back to the studio!
Hello, my name is Dina, and I'm part of VOLTA.
In this show, I do three disciplines: Chinese rings, tightrope and slack line.
Today, we came to see the Big Top,
our new home for VOLTA, and we visited lots of places.
I just feel like coming here and getting all settled in.
I'm quite happy about it all.
