On Monday 16 June 2014, Cirque du Soleil officially celebrates its 30th anniversary.

The family has grown since then and now includes thousands of dreamers-creators, artists, technicians and workers who toil in the shadows. The dream has become a symbol of Quebec pride, with the international entertainment company having brought 35 large-scale shows to life, 20 of which are still in operation. The company has close to 4,000 employees, including 1,300 performing artists from close to 50 different countries.
