Line 14:
* [[Everything's Better with Chickens]]: Early in the run, an Act Two segment called "[[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|A Not-So-Serious Act]]" featured performers who find their act interrupted by a rain of rubber chickens. The act is gone, but the chickens still turn up.
* [[Everything's Better with Sparkles]]: The judicious use of a handful of glitter in the final moments of the duo-straps act.
* [[Everything's Better with Spinning]]: Three acts invoke this: chandeliers, cyr wheel, and duo-straps.
* [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin]]: The Teatro Intimo is '''truly''' intimate, because it's '''truly''' small.
* [[Gentle Giant]]: The Giant Clown.
* [[Man in White]]: The White Clown.
* [[MotifsMotif]]: Circles. The show presents death as a homecoming for the soul in question, and thus a life come full circle.
** The stage, unique to Cirque, is circular instead of the traditional 3/4 thrust design; it's not an in-the-round setup (the side entrances for the performers split the seating into two halves), but it's close enough for symbolic purposes. As a bonus, several of the acts have the stage revolving as they unfold.
** The cyr wheels.
