[[Cirque Du Soleil]]'s sixth show was a Japanese exclusive that ran in arenas in 1992, marking the company's first visit to that country.
 
The story and most of the characters are from ''[[Le Cirque Reinvente]]'': Ordinary People are turned into whimsical circus folk by the King of Fools and Queen of the Night. The lineup of acts, however, includes only four ''Reinvente'' acts -- fiveacts—five of the remaining six are from Cirque's follow-up ''[[Nouvelle Experience]]'', redressed to fit the ''Reinvente'' setting. In addition, only one of the clowns appeared in either of the previous tours.
 
==== Besides most of the tropes that appeared in ''[[Le Cirque Reinvente]]'', this show contained examples of: ====
 
* [[Composite Character]]: The Ringmaster was a merger of the original ''Reinvente'' character and the Great Chamberlain of ''Nouvelle'' -- as—as such, he was played by the Chamberlain's performer (Brian Dewhurst) and participated in the slackwire act as well.
* [[Everything's Better with Sparkles]]: The ''Reinvente'' costume designs were overhauled for this show, and the Ringmaster's suit got a ''ton'' more sequins in the process.
* [[Missing Episode]]: A "lost episode" example in that it was never filmed for television/video; not surprising since both of the shows it combined ''were'' filmed, and there wouldn't have been much of a market for it.
