Cirque du Soleil's third tour, sometimes called just Cirque Reinvente or (in the U.S.) We Reinvent the Circus, opened in 1987. It would be their first show to venture beyond its home country of Canada, via a make-or-break visit to an arts festival in Los Angeles, California; it did well enough that an out-and-out U.S. tour followed.Within a single ring, a simple prologue sets the scene: The King of Fools and the Queen of the Night transform drab Ordinary People (caricatures of such, via exaggerated masks and suits/dresses) into whimsical acrobats and clowns for a day. Some of the acts had appeared in Cirque before — clown Denis Lacombe had appeared in both of the previous tours, and the climactic bicycle act in La Magie Continue — but the increasingly unified creative team led by director Franco Dragone gave the show theme and polish that charmed audiences on both sides of the Canada/U.S. border.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The show's huge success meant growing pains for the company. After the initial Canadian/U.S. dates, Dragone and his team began developing a follow-up tour while Reinvente continued touring. Eclipse wound up withering on the vine and the quality of Reinvente, as far as the creators were concerned, dropped without their oversight. The management shakeups that the company's expansion resulted in didn't help matters, and the 1990 leg of the tour, which took the show to London and Paris, proved disappointing. From the ashes of these setbacks ultimately rose Nouvelle Experience.This show was filmed for television as a 50-minute special, and while the original tour ended in 1990, it had two variations mounted in 1992.
