Dralion

Dralion (pronounced Drah-lee-on) was a touring production by the Canadian entertainment company Cirque du Soleil. The show combined elements of traditional Chinese circus with Western contemporary circus, complementing the "East-meets-West" theme implied in the title—the name is a portmanteau of "dragon" (representing the East) and "lion" (representing the West). It is Cirque du Soleil's twelfth touring production and the first Cirque show since 1985 not to be directed by Franco Dragone.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> Dralion performed its final show at the Sullivan Arena in Anchorage, Alaska on January 18, 2015, bringing its fifteen-year world tour to a close.

Set and technical information

The backdrop for Dralion was a metallic structure Template:Convert in width and Template:Convert in height. It was covered in perforated aluminum tiles, giving it the appearance of medieval armor or a futuristic Chinese temple. Sitting atop the structure were six giant claws which allow performers to climb the wall and suspend in mid-air. Above the stage itself were three large concentric aluminum rings. The first was utilized as a catwalk; the second was used to support acrobatic equipment; and the third is used by performers to move up and down and suspend in the air.<ref name="DPK">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

Portions of the Dralion stage were redesigned and incorporated into the Ovo arena tour in early 2016.

Retired acts

• Double Duplex Trapeze: An original Dralion act, two trapezes that had one bar at the bottom and another bar about a metre above it, the artists would jump or flip from the higher bar into the hands of another performer at the bottom bar.

Costumes

Dralion's costumes are vibrant in color; inspired by clothing from India, China, and Africa; and are shaped according to the movements of each performer's choreography.<ref>Template:Cite book</ref> In total there are around 1500 wardrobe pieces for the show, taking into account that some artists have up to four costume changes during a single performance.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}Template:Dead link</ref>

• Yao: As the symbol of fire, Yao is clad in red and inspired by Chinese.
• Océane: As the goddess of water, Océane's costume is Indian inspired and green in color.
• Azala: As the goddess of air, Azala's primary color is blue. Her dress is fashioned with Asian crystal beads.
• Gaya: As the goddess of earth, Gaya's color is Ochre. Her costume is inspired by African designs.
• L'Âme Force: The texture on the front of their golden costumes is made by moulding small plastic soldiers.
• Dralions: The dralions are constructed from a mélange of items both natural and synthetic: lycra, leather, silk, mosquito netting, polystyrene foam, springs, raffia, horse hair, emu feathers, and other fabrics and decorations.

Music

With the company's departure from its longtime creative team, Dralion features the work of a new Cirque composer, French-Canadian composer Violaine Corradi.<ref>Cirque du Soleil - Creators of Dralion Template:Webarchive</ref> The music of Dralion aims to be a fusion of sounds from East and West by the use of acoustic and electric instruments. Featuring rhythmic and lyrical motifs, the influences range from Indian melodies to sounds from Andalusia, Africa, Central Europe, and the West. Instruments used in the CD are drums, violin, winds, keyboards, guitar and percussion instructions. Released on November 9, 1999, Dralion’s soundtrack features the vocals of Basque counter-tenor Erik Karol, and Canadian female vocalist Agnès Sohier.
