Nouvelle Experience: Difference between revisions

* [[The Everyman]]

* [[Everything's Better with Spinning]]: Antipodisme (foot juggling), in which the performer twirls parasols, etc. with their feet. More serene than speedy, but still extremely impressive.

* [[Expy]]: Madame Corporation and the Great Chamberlain serve much the same function that the Queen of the Night and the King of Fools did in ''Le Cirque Reinvente'', albeit with more ostentatious appearances and personalities. Since he introduces (and sometimes remains present in the background for) several acts, the Great Chamberlain also works as an analogue to the Ringmaster in ''Reinvente'', which was probably a reason why ''Fascination'' cast the former's actor as the latter character.

* [[Fiery Redhead]]: Madame Corporation.

* [[No Fourth Wall]]

* [[Non-Ironic Clown]]: The Everyman and the Flounes. The Great Chamberlain has aspects of this; in fact, when Brian Dewhurst was hired for this show, the role was strictly character work. It was only later that his long-established comedy slackwire act was incorporated into it.

* [[Technician Versus Performer]]: This was the first Cirque show to use director Franco Dragone's artist workshops, in which he worked with the highly-skilled acrobats, dancers, etc. to bring out their inner performers. The characters evolved from what emerged from their respective artists during this process, and as a result the show featured technicians who were equally, simultaneously skilled as performers.

* [[Walking Shirtless Scene]]: The aerial straps performer.

* [[Whip It Good]]: Spoofing the animal acts of traditional circuses, the Great Chamberlain "commands" Corporation with a whip for the Korean plank act.
