“Cirque du Soleil is recognized for its incredible, high-quality, artistic live entertainment. I am confident that by joining forces with 20th Century FOX Television, we will propel our brand to new heights by creating distinctive high-quality television productions,” says Jacques Méthé, president, Cirque du Soleil Média. “Our goal with this partnership is not to televise our live performances, but rather create content in the primetime scripted arena that will elevate the genre by drawing from Cirque’s creative vision.”??
