Representatives of Takenaka Corporation and Oriental Land Co., Ltd. performed the groundbreaking in the presence of a Shinto priest from Seiryu Shrine. Traditional Japanese rituals also took place to pray for safe completion of the building. A total of 47 people related to this project attended the ceremony.
The permanent Cirque du Soleil theatre is scheduled to open in fiscal year 2008.

Statement from Yoshiro Fukushima,President and COO of Oriental Land Co., Ltd.
The groundbreaking ceremony for our permanent Cirque du Soleil theater took place on April 18, 2006. This exciting project is scheduled to be completed in 2008. It is our honor to present in Tokyo Disney Resort, Cirque du Soleil’s first permanent theatre outside North America.
Cirque du Soleil creates thrilling performances that challenge the limits of human capability, transforming it into Art. Creation of an original show for this theater has already begun and we are sure that it will deliver even more wondrous entertainment to guests visiting Tokyo Disney Resort.
The opening of this theater in fiscal year 2008 will coincide with the 25th anniversary of Tokyo Disneyland Park and the grand opening of Tokyo Disneyland Hotel, thus further enhancing the appeal of Tokyo Disney Resort.
Statement from Francois Macerola,Vice-President of Cirque du Soleil
It is with great pride and honor that Cirque du Soleil is present today for this unique and unprecedented event in its 22-year history.
For the first time ever, Cirque du Soleil will have a permanent home outside North America dedicated to its loyal and devoted fans in Japan.
We have designed a theatre that will pay tribute to the unwavering loyalty of our audiences and reflect some of the attributes at the core of Cirque du Soleil’s creative impulse: transparency, clearness, youthfulness, energy and strength.
The design of the theatre will harness the energy of the sun to warm audiences’ hearts. A timeless symbol of youth, the sun has been a constant source of inspiration throughout our history and our shows. It will be the driving force for creators, performers and employees involved in this new project.
Today’s ceremony marks an important step in the creative process of this new project. It is the beginning of the journey leading to an unparalleled production to open in 2008—a shining testament to the loyalty and dedication of our Japanese and international audiences.
Statement from Nick Franklin, President of Walt Disney Attractions, Japan
“In 2008, the curtain will rise on a partnership that combines the artistry of Cirque du Soleil, the creative energy of Disney and the vision of the Oriental Land Company,” said Nick Franklin, President of Walt Disney Attractions, Japan.
“Today with this groundbreaking, we commence building the next great and highly anticipated Cirque De Soleil theater. This theatre will be the venue for a new spectacular Cirque du Soleil show adding yet another exciting dimension to the Tokyo Disney Resort that will amaze and enchant our guests of all ages.”

| Des nouvelles . . .
Selon cette interview, la direction et composition musicale du Show est revenue à René Dupéré à qui on doit une majeur partie des bandes sons des spectacles du Cirque dont la plus connue et la plus vendue, Alegria, ainsi que la musique de la cérémonie de rétrocession de Hong-Kong à la Chine. C'est donc une très bonne nouvelle puisque c'est une pointure en la matière, qui a fait ses classes au cirque, et qui m'évoque toujours avec nostalgie les années Dragone (80's et 90's). Bien sûr sa récente collaboration avec le cirque pour la trame de Kà nous a montré qu'il n'a rien perdu de son talent, puisque le ton épique/cinématographique de la musique est une vraie réussite. Bonne trame sonore en perspective.
En ce qui concerne le thème, c'est celui du ciel qui revient le plus souvent et qui circule sur le net. Ce qui est sûr, c'est le nom du metteur en scène, François Girard, naturellement québécois, scénariste et réalisateur ayant reçu plusieurs prix.
Kooza lancé, on peut espérer avoir beaucoup plus d'info prochainement sur ce projet puisque je pense que les répétitions et entrainements ne devraient plus tarder au Studio (du moins s'intensifier) car il y a fort à parier que le processus de création est déjà bien entamé (2008 s'approchant). La mise en place et montage du spectacle avec la troupe ne devraient donc plus tarder. Mais attention, au cirque, tout peut changer rapidement, même dans la semaine précédant la première ou la cage aux lions. En effet le rythme de travail est intense et les délais sont très court pour le montage final. Un seul mot du grand patron est tout à reprendre !

 Désolé, par contre Delirium passe à Paris Bercy le 31 Mars & 1er Avril 2008. 
Pour en revenir au projet de Tokyo après toute les nouvelles postées ci-dessus, sachez que le carnet de commande est bien rempli : Luxor (Vegas) 2008, Macao 2008, Elvis 2009 (Vegas), Macao 2009, Dubaï 2010, Hollywood 2010 (Kodak Theater). Bref le show de Tokyo s'inscrit dans une forte croissance des activités de l'entreprise où l'europe n'est pas concernée.

| Merci pour ces infos Yao. Je regrette ne pas avoir tilté samedi lors du meeting. J'étais en présence de l'autre grand fan du Cirque du Soleil du forum...
En ce qui me concerne j'ai vu 3 spectacles en vrai (Mystère, La Nouba et Alegria)et Ka sur Arte à Noël dernier.
Ordre de préférence: Mystère, Ka, La Nouba, Alegria.
Mais de toute façon, chaque spectacle est une merveille en soi et j'espère avoir un jour la chance de retourner à Tokyo Disney pour découvrir celui là.
J'ai hâte de découvrir la musique également... |

| Petit Up étant donné que le nom du spectacle a été dévoilé, il s'agit de "ZED".
Voici le communiqué:
| Citation: | Cirque du Soleil Theatre Tokyo
TITLE OF NEW ORIGINAL SHOW TO BE ZED
URAYASU, CHIBA (JAPAN), June 3, 2008 – Oriental Land Co., Ltd. and Cirque du Soleil are pleased to announce that “ZED” will be the title of the new original show to be performed at the Cirque du Soleil Theatre Tokyo, which will open at Tokyo Disney Resort® on October 1, 2008.
ZED is a living poem, a timeless evocation that draws on the Tarot and its arcana, an imaginary world that conjures the vitality of the human condition and holds up a mirror to our true selves. The central, larger-than-life character Zed represents all of humanity in all its guises, from wisdom to folly, from discovery to adventure.
Zed grows as he discovers the world on his journey of initiation. Through this undertaking the people of the sky and the people of the earth are trying to connect with each other; through Zed, they come together.
The world of the arcana, in which ZED finds its inspiration, teems with life and vibrant characters, including the Great Goddess, The Fool, The Sphinxes and the Satyrs – all engaged in a lyrical odyssey to the heart of the human experience.

| Citation: | SET DESIGN
“The scenic atmosphere of ZED evokes the pinnacle of the High Renaissance and the dawn of the Mechanical Age.”
—François Séguin
The Astrolabe
To establish the set design concept, designer François Séguin started with a form inspired by the astrolabe. His underlying intention was to fill the whole stage as if it were a frame from a film, and in terms of aesthetics, his design evokes the High Renaissance and the Mechanical Age.
Brass and copper components, precision engineering, painstaking craftsmanship and scientific ingenuity combine to create the impression that the audience is actually inside – and sometimes outside – a complex mechanical astrolabe floating in space.
The set takes its inspiration from many eras and influences. Ancient science, the inventions of Leonardo da Vinci, the products of the early days of the Mechanical Age, nautical instruments and astronomy all play a part in creating an atmosphere of solidity and tradition, floating in a space that looks toward the future.
Diderot’s Encyclopedia, which began to be published in 1751, also informed the designs. "Diderot, the first French encyclopedia, codified knowledge and is filled with images of mechanical devices," says designer François Séguin.
The Scenic Environment
When the audience first enters the theatre, the set is wrapped in a large sheet and the auditorium gives no clues or visual cues as to where they are or where the show is situated.
The spectacular imagery is revealed when the cover is whisked away in a sudden, sweeping gesture by a character inspired by The Fool in the Tarot. This dramatic moment instantly plunges the audience into an environment that recalls antique astronomical and navigational instruments set in an ancient cosmos that is at the same time new and somehow familiar.
In keeping with the physical dimensions of the theatre and the themes of the show (in which one community of characters inhabits the sky and the other community is earthbound), the set emphasizes verticality as a visual reinforcement to the narrative, as well as meeting the demands of the show’s acrobatics.
While the materials are unquestionably rich, the colors – suggesting an antique patina of burnished metals and polished wood tones – are intentionally somewhat monochrome and muted, and the look is quite dark, reminiscent of 19th century interiors. The objective is to focus more attention on the performing artists than on their surroundings.
Since this is a Cirque du Soleil show, the set must also accommodate a large amount of acrobatic rigging, lighting and sound equipment, and designer François Séguin decided to integrate it into the set as much as possible, rather than impose it on the décor. His design minimizes the visibility of all the winches, rigging, cables and the setting up needed to perform complex acrobatic numbers.
Some Details
• Made mostly of steel, the suspended astrolabe weighs 19, 504 kg (43,000 lbs).
• The enormous 10m globe, which can move vertically, is decorated with meridians and parallels and fitted with a net that can deploy and retract as needed.
• Winches hidden inside the globe are used to transport the artists, stage equipment and acrobatic equipment throughout the show.
• On the floor of the stage, there is a representation of the Milky Way and symbols referring to the different phases of the moon.
• A door leading under the stage is installed inside a book that the clowns Oulaï and Nalaï find at the beginning of the show. When they open it, they plunge inside, literally engulfed by the pages.
• The Vortex, the white canvas that wraps the stage at the start of the show, comprises more than 5,600 square meters of material. Two motors pull it at a speed of six meters per second, making the entire surface vanish in 25 seconds.
• During the Birth of the Sky scene, the set features a firmament of thousands of stars. To achieve this effect the vault of the Astrolabe is covered with 3,500 LEDs and the floor of the stage has more than 900 fiber optic points of light.
• An alphabet of 26 symbols, The Zed Alpha, was created for the production. It appears in the set design and shows the periodic table of the elements as well as words related to components of the show.
• Five spheres of various diameters, each displaying its own special effects, form a miniature representation of the Astrolabe – a micro world that reflects the macro world. |

| Citation: | 
Artistic Stage Brings Truly Beautiful Emotions and the Best Performances
The Cirque du Soleil Theatre Tokyo is the resident theatre designed exclusively for ZED, an original Cirque du Soleil program that will be shown only in Japan. Until now, resident shows have been limited to North America; for its first such show in Asia, Cirque du Soleil has spent the last three years building this theatre while developing the story of ZED. The stage was designed to complement the dynamic performances in the show: the colossal set, which evokes the celestial sphere, was inspired by the astrolabe-the classical instrument used to locate and predict the position of the Sun, Moon, planets and stars—and extends well into the seats, allowing the audience to feel more a part of the show; this, combined with the specially-devised acrobatic equipment, will make for an amazing Cirque experience on a grand scale. Japan has never seen anything like it!
"The scenic atmosphere of ZED evokes the pinnacle of the High Renaissance and the dawn of the Mechanical Age."
-François Séguin
Set designer François Séguin’s concept was inspired by the astrolabe, which was used for astronomical observation before the invention of the sextant.
Wanting the stage to be as impressive as a movie scene, Séguin drew upon themes evoking the flourishing of the Renaissance and the Mechanical Age.
In the theatre, brass and copper components, precision engineering, elaborate craftsmanship and scientific ingenuity combine to create the impression of being inside—and sometimes outside—a complex astrolabe floating through space.
Séguin’s inspiration came from many diverse sources: ancient science, the inventions of Leonardo da Vinci, devices produced in the early Mechanical Age, nautical instruments and astronomy come together to create the duality of a rigid, traditional world and the sensation of travelling through space towards the future.
The “Zed Alpha,” an alphabet consisting of 26 original, distinctive symbols, was created especially for the show. The set design includes these symbols scattered across the stage, a visual representation of both the periodic table of chemical elements and the language of the show.
The gigantic globe floating above centre stage shows the meridians and lines of latitude, while on the floor, we have the Milky Way and the symbols of the Moon’s phases.

mais aussi au sujet des numéros (voir ici) et des personnages (voir ici).
En tout cas je trouve la salle magnifique.

| 2 nouvelles vidéos viennent d'être mises en ligne sur le site officiel de Zed. L'une est dédié au théâtre & à la scène, l'autre au spectacle (mais c'est en Japonnais). En revanche on entend en fond sonnore de nouveaux extraits musicaux du spectacle. Je les trouve magnifiques et j'ai hâte de voir comment tout cela va s'harmoniser dans le show!
