Line 14:
* [[Bilingual Bonus]]: Three songs: "Ballare", "Spirits", and "Ombra".
* [[Book Ends]]: The Little Buddha and his hourglass.
* [[Color -Coded Elements]]
** Air = blue
** Earth = ochre
Line 23:
* [[Elemental Powers]]: A classical set of four are represented.
* [[Epic Song]]: "Kamande" (the finale).
* [[EverythingsEverything's Better With Spinning]]: Aerial hoop, aerial pas de deux, and foot juggling.
* [[Evil Is Burning Hot]]: Yao is described as being the most morally ambiguous of the elemental gods, though this may just be because he's also a [[War God]].
* [[Holy Child]]: The Little Buddha, who according to [[All There in the Manual|the official website]] "possesses special powers that will allow it to eventually become an Ame-Force".
Line 34:
* [[Prongs of Poseidon]]: The trident dance.
* [[Real Life Writes the Plot]] / [[Values Dissonance]]: As discussed in the book ''20 Years Under the Sun'', these are partial explanations for why this show isn't as character/theme-driven as most. Franco Dragone's style involved workshops with performers that got them in touch with their creative sides and from which characters emerged. Caron and his creative team quickly realized that the highly-disciplined Chinese performers brought over for this show weren't comfortable with this, so they decided to focus on the quality of the acrobatic acts instead.
* [[Self -Parody]]: The final clown act is a threadbare parody of all the serious acts.
* [[Set Switch Song]]: "Spiritual Spiral".
* [[Singing Simlish]]
* [[Sliding Scale of Idealism Versus Cynicism]]: Idealist all the way.
* [[Star -Crossed Lovers]]: The aerial pas de deux takes place between Azala and her mortal lover. At the end Azala reluctantly [[But Now I Must Go|goes back to the sky]], leaving the man behind. There's also a certain amount of subtext between Yao and Oceane, however they are kept apart by [[Elemental Rock -Paper -Scissors|their opposite elements]].
* [[Technician Versus Performer]]: The development of this show focused on the former over the latter due to [[Values Dissonance]] with the Chinese performers.
* [[Water Is Blue]]: Averted - since air is blue, water is green instead, though still with some blue tones.
