Cirque du Sound | Ep. 1: Sympathy for the Devil with John August | Cirque du Soleil

Screenwriter and director John August (Charlie & The Chocolate Factory, The Nightmare Before Christmas) is known for creating wildly imaginative storylines where darkness and light get turned upside-down. He joins Michel Laprise for a chat about character evolution, story worlds, and stories that challenge our understanding of darkness. Together, they discuss ALEGRIA, a Cirque du Soleil show exploring themes of light vs. darkness, the thirst for change, and ‘sympathy for the devil.’ Video Playlist: “Cirque du Sound” #CirqueduSoleil #Circus #Cirque Don’t miss a video!
