ARTS IN
SPACE
On Wednesday, Guy Laliberté, founder of Cirque du
Soleil, spoke about his upcoming trip to the International Space
Station, which he calls "the first social and artistic mission in
space." Via webcast from Star City in Russia, where he has been in
training for the mission, Laliberté offered details of his plan for
a global artistic multimedia event on October 9, which will comprise
live performances in 14 cities from Montreal to Moscow, a web broadcast
from space, and guest artists including U2, Peter Gabriel, Shakira, and
many more. The event will focus on the global need for water, which
Laliberté is promoting via his One Drop Foundation.
