    February 15, 1982 SABO'S CHIMPS on TV's "Saturday Night Live" Show Adriatic Animal Attractions, Inc. Josip Marcan - President For the 1981 and 1982 season, my new mixed act of lions and tigers has been exclusively contracted by the Hawthorn Circus Corp. for bookings. But the ani- mals and equipment remain solely owned by me. However, I have trained and added to my act - 8 ti- gers belonging to the Hawthorn Circus Corp., enlarg- ing my act to 19 animals. My enlarged act shall be re- ferred to as: Marcan's Mixed Lions and Tigers Com- bined with the Hawthorn Tigers. Due to the fact that the Hawthorn Circus Corp. al- ready owns an act referred to as the "Hawthorn Ti- gers", it has become necessary to distinguish the dif- ference of the act which I own and the Hawthorn act. I hope this will clarify the ownership and billing of my act.

  • “ Cirque in Transition”
    AArrttiissaannss ddee LL’’IImmaaggiinnaaiirree 30 ans du Cirque du Soleil ““ CCiirrqquuee iinn TTrraannssiittiioonn”” PART FOUR: 1999 - 2004 155 ““ CCiirrqquuee iinn TTrraannssiittiioonn”” PART FOUR: 1999 - 2004 Can Cirque du Soleil go on without Dragone? "There's no reason why the circus can't change with the times." – Guy Caron At the end of 1998, the creative team behind so many of Cirque du Soleil's productions in the 1990s - Franco Dragone, Michel Crete and Dominique Lemieux - concluded their remarkable run of artistic and professional development with the company, leaving the creative reins to future shows in the hands of others and giving Cirque du Soleil an interesting dilemma to overcome during the first-half of the new millennium: how to move on from a very successful run of productions under the helm of Franco Dragone and his team of conceptors and show the world it could still re-invent the circus. Faced with the challenge of mounting a new show, with a new team, in a compressed period of time, Guy Laliberté turned to an old friend: Guy Caron. Since he had left Cirque in 1988, Caron had maintained friendly relations with Laliberté. In 1992, he had even directed a show called “Cirque Knie Presents Cirque du Soleil” for the Swiss National Circus, produced in collaboration with Cirque. Caron's job wasn't easy, though. He'd have to pick up the creative pieces and attempt to meet or exceed the expectations laid down by the likes of Quidam, “O” and La Nouba. Despite the challenges - or perhaps because of them - Laliberté and Caron were able to show that it was the creative juices of the whole rather than just one man that drove the company, and it was during this period of transition that Cirque du Soleil began to branch out beyond theatrical productions; Cirque would dive into the realm of motion pictures and television full-force with Journey of Man (IMAX film), Fire Within (reality series) and Solstrom (variety series).
