Celebrity Cruises and Cirque du Soleil launch otherworldly experience at sea!
New Partners Present Unparalleled Entertainment in "The Bar at the Edge of the EarthTM".
In December 2004, a new world created exclusively for Celebrity Cruises by Cirque du Soleil will materialize in the spacious observation lounges on select Celebrity ships. They will be transformed into the surreal and unique atmosphere of "The Bar at the Edge of the Earth", "a place that invites guests to cross through the mirror to another universe", an unknown, imaginary world.
In "The Bar at the Edge of the Earth," surreal characters will emerge for two hours each evening to greet cruise guests as old friends, not cruise patrons. "The Wave Correspondent" will carry precious bottles containing mystical messages from the sea, and will deliver them to chosen travelers visiting the lounge. "The Lantern Tuner," whose inexplicable desire to light dark places or to harmonize with existing lighting will constantly transform the atmosphere around him. Meanwhile, the abundantly curious "Pez Erizo," a large, round being, will wander joyfully throughout the ship, seeking to meet and delight all who cross his path. Constellation will be the first ship to feature the Cirque-created experience on its seven-night Southern Caribbean cruises, departing round-trip from San Juan. Summit will follow in early 2005.
The cruise line has 10 ships in its fleet, which is the youngest of any major line. Celebrity sails in Alaska, Bermuda, California, the Caribbean, Europe, the Galapagos Islands, Hawaii, the Mexican Riviera, the Panama Canal and South America.
Character's features:
- Age: 18 to 30 years
- Weight: 130 to 165 lbs. (59 to 75 kg)
- Height: 5'6" to 5' 9" (1.65 to 1.77 metres)
Requirements:
- Stage experience required;
- Experience in dance, physical acting or mime;
- Improvisational skills;
- Excellent physical condition;
- Theatre experience, an asset;
- Singing or musical skills an asset;
- Artistic open-mindedness;
- Team spirit.
