Cirque Du Soleil Seventh Annual One Night For One Drop Draws Top Attendance At Bellagio Resort
On Friday, March 8, the seventh annual One Night for One Drop event at the "O" Theatre, presented by MGM Resorts International and COLGATE, drew a star-studded crowd in support of the one-night-only soirée benefiting the One Drop Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to providing access to safe water and sanitation around the globe. Imagined by Cirque du Soleil, One Night for One Drop mesmerized the sold-out audience with an emotional performance that took the spectators on an empathetic journey, drawing inspiration from human connection, friendship, beauty, nature, love and loss, in an aquatic ambiance.
The performance was co-written and directed by André Kasten and Leah Moyer, performed by Cirque du Soleil artists as well as celebrated performers including Keone and Mari from "World of Dance" and Las Vegas headliner Blue Man Group, presented alongside Academy Award-winner & world-renowned score composer Hans Zimmer and featured intricate choreography created by Alexander Ekman and Andrew Winghart. Highlights from the dramatic acts were three spectacular arrangements performed live by Hans Zimmer, including a specially adapted piece from the award-winning film "Interstellar."
This year's event was taped for the new entertainment special ONE NIGHT FOR ONE DROP: IMAGINED BY Cirque du Soleil, set to air on Saturday, March 16 (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network. The limited commercial experience is made possible by presenting sponsor COLGATE, which is committed to raising awareness of water scarcity with a "turn-off-the-faucet-while-brushing" message because #EveryDropCounts.
