The internationally known performance troupe Cirque du Soleil celebrates its 20th birthday in high style on this home-video release. Cirque du Soleil: Midnight Sun preserves a special event staged as part of the 2004 Montreal Jazz Festival, in which over 250 of Cirque du Soleil's players took to the streets with a spectacular fusion of music, dance, and acrobatics as a rapt audience of over 200,000 people looked on. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi
