Other traditions include the different Cirque jackets artists receive for each year of service. It was a nice surprise to all of us &#8211; although I had been asking about the bathrobes since our first training period back in Montreal. I would ask people, &#8220;I think we get bathrobes&#8221; and everyone is like &#8220;Why would we get bathrobes?&#8221;. So my long wait is over.<\/p>\n<p>I will admit that I walked around in my Cirque bathrobe this morning drinking a cup of coffee feeling very important as I gazed out over my view of Taipa and mainland China. I don&#8217;t know if the feeling of importance came from the bathrobe or my French press Starbuck&#8217;s coffee. I think it was the bathrobe.<\/p>\n<p>I have heard about other Cirque traditions that I guess we will find out about as we go along. Like getting thrown in the water after opening night? Mmm&#8230;.will have to pick out my clothes carefully for that evening.<\/p>\n<p>Before I signed my contracts with Cirque I searched the web to try to find out bad experiences and couldn&#8217;t find many (or any). Now I know why. Cirque rocks. Most of us would give our last breath for them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Artists for Cirque Du Soleil&#8217;s ZAIA show got their official Cirque bathrobes yesterday.
