People behind the production

Cirque du Soleil's Iris is a landmark production that fused cinema and circus arts to explore the history of film through live performance. Debuting at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles on September 25, 2011, Iris invited audiences into a world where film reels became acrobatic stages, with a production scope that reflected a near the best available price million investment, including Dolby Theatre renovations. The show ran through January 19, 2013, leaving a lasting imprint on Cirque's repertoire and inspiring crossovers with Cirque's later Broadway venture, Paramour.
