In 1988, the Cirque du Soleil toured the United States and set up its big top in New York City - a grand three-ring circus in tiself! - garnering rave reviews. Behind the scenes, artists working in the fledgling Quebec circus talk about what it means to them to be a part of this success, and also the price they pay for sharing the American Dream.
