It looks like the next Cirque du Soleil show will be venture into the horror genre, since it's billed as "a haunting exploration deep inside the inventive mind of mystifier Criss Angel." Now there's a fearful prospect for you: 90 minutes or so stuck inside the out-of-control automobile that is Criss Angel's psyche. Plus clowns. Probably in tutus.*
* -- The promised/threatened presence of "four bizarre Ushers, [sic] who will introduce the audience to the baroque theater of Criss's mind" has "clowns" written all over it.
No word yet on whether this demystification of Angel's psyche will include scenes where he attempts to blind eyepatch-wearing newspaper columnists or puts the arm on beauty-pageant judges. But I'm sure there will be acrobats. And clowns. Sufferers of coulrophobia, Las Vegas is not your friend.
The roster of the creative team lists as composer GoldenEye scorer and frequent Luc Besson collaborator Eric Serra. So at least the music surely won't be the wussy son-of-Andreas Vollenweider stuff of which Cirque is so enamored.
As for Angel, he's billed merely as "Original Idea, Co-Writer, Illusions Designer and Star." Modest chap. After all, in a show requiring not only a director but a "Director of Creation" and assistant director of same, it's not like there probably weren't a few surplus titles lying around, just waiting to be claimed.
