Cirque du Soleil Raises Curtain on Ice Show


A French citizen, Sarah Moya Machado received a PhD in political science from the Sorbonne in Paris. She also stands out as the founder of Ventana Magica, a special project directed toward helping underserved communities in Colombia. During her free time, Sarah Moya Machado enjoys traveling, dancing, and attending Cirque du Soleil shows.

Founded outside of Quebec City in 1984 by a small group of 20 street performers, Cirque du Soleil has grown to one of the most successful performance groups in the world. Today, more than 1,300 performers in dozens of countries around the globe entertain audiences with the company’s trademark circus-inspired artistry. The company has been inventing and re-inventing itself since its founding and continues to find new ways to inspire and engage audiences.

In December 2017, Cirque du Soleil presented the debut performance of its new show on ice, Crystal. The show combines the traditional circus arts of the stage show with the grace and elegance of world-class ice skaters while following the story of Crystal, an adolescent struggling with self-acceptance. 

Cirque du Soleil plans to tour the new show around North America for the majority of 2018. To learn more about the show or to see tour dates, visit www.cirquedusoleil.com/crystal.
