Line 24:
* [[Dream Land]]: According to the [[All There in the Manual]] material, the attic is this.
* [[The Everyman]]: The Cleaning Lady.
* [[EverythingsEverything's Better With Spinning]]: The diabolos and cycles acts. The original opening act, German wheels, was this as well (it was retired and replaced with skipping ropes in 2010).
* [[Fairy Tale]]
* [[Fantastic Romance]]: The Cleaning Lady and {{spoiler|the Frog Prince}}, [[Played for Laughs]].
Line 31:
* [[Man in White|Men In White]]: The Nuts, who are innocent fools.
* [[Nice Hat]]: The Walker's bowler hat.
* [[Non -Fatal Explosions]]: Turn up twice in the clowns' setpieces.
* [[Non -Ironic Clown]]: The bulk of the Cirques, such as the Green Bird, have appearances and personalities that fit this trope.
** The primary clown duo play out comic scenarios (astronauts, mother with baby carriage, etc.).
** The Nuts are a four-mime quartet who weave in and out of the action.
Line 41:
* [[Opening Ballet]]: The show has a prologue featuring a procession of Cirques around the theater's main aisle; this is followed by a second dance sequence that would, ordinarily, serve as this.
* [[Our Acts Are Different]]: The 90-minute show (plus a 10-15 minute preshow) is performed in one act.
* [[Pimped -Out Dress]]: The Cleaning Lady's {{spoiler|wedding gown}} -- a goofy-looking one, but this nonetheless.
* [[Running Gag]]: The Nuts appear twice during the preshow to crash cymbals, but realize that they've come out too early. The actual cue for the cymbals doesn't happen until ''much'' later.
* [[Sliding Scale of Idealism Versus Cynicism]]: This was Cirque's most idealistic, brightly-colored show in years, and especially compared to ''Quidam'' and ''"O"''.
* [[True LovesLove's Kiss]]: With the twist that {{spoiler|the frog has just shown up, and the Cleaning Lady kisses it because she assumes it will turn into a handsome prince who will become her true love. To her credit, she's right}}.
* [[Woman in White]]: The Ballerina, the female half of the Lovers, initially appears in an all-white outfit (likely inspired by ''[[Swan Lake]]'').
