A Tribute to Zaia
httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xrfLl2z2w54
A film by Davy McGuire 2008 showing the cast of Zaia from training in Montreal to opening in Macau at the Venetian Casino. The Zaia artists saw this for the first time in the green room at the Cirque Du Soleil Zaia Theater in Macau in October 2008.
At 1:19 there’s a photo of me outside in the snow in Montreal with other band members. I like this video a lot – it captures a little of the crazy energy and personalities working on our show.
Thanks for making the video Davy!
Cirque Bachelor Party
Before leaving for vacation we had a great Cirque bachelor party for a certain artist. I’ll tell you that when you get high energy artists together for a party – it’s a PARTY! What a great crew. Pic up top is myself and Tom, one of our clowns.

Avril Lavigne at ZAIA
Avril Lavigne stopped by and saw our ZAIA show today. She’s doing a concert down the hall Friday night as part of her “Best Damn Tour” show. She stopped downstairs in our green room after the show to say hi and get photo ops with the Cirque Du Soleil ZAIA cast.

ZAIA on Hong Kong TV September 13, 2008
ZAIA will be on television in Hong Kong Saturday September 13, 2008. A programme named “太陽劇團特約： 探索 ZAIA 的夢想世界†(translated as Cirque du Soleil presents “Exploring the ZAIA journeyâ€) will be on TVB Jade, a Cantonese TV channel with highest audience in Hong Kong.  The programme will feature interviews with our Writer & Director Gilles Maheu, Make-up Designer Nathalie Gagné and some of the artists including ZAIA (Kaleen). It will also include show footage and some location shots here at the Venetian. However the program will be in Cantonese, for those who do not understand the language, I do hope that you enjoy the programme visually.
Zaia World Premiere Aug 28 2008
I’ve received several emails asking why I didn’t post details about the world premiere of Cirque’s ZAIA on Aug 28, 2008. I told one friend “it went well – we did it and people clapped.” (See how utterly interesting I can be?)
