"I had never gone through a Michael Jackson process without him. That was very tough at times. But the end result was worth it."<br><br>Payne was reunited with costume designer Zaldy Goco, drummer Jonathan "Sugarfoot" Moffett and many other members of Jackson's creative team for The Immortal World Tour, an arena show inspired by the pop star's music.<br><br>"There have been many productions since Michael's passing to celebrate him but none with so many of us coming together," says Payne.<br><br>"I really think that's why it works. For many of us, the last time we worked together was with Michael. I certainly hope he would be proud of what we have done."<br><br>Payne says Jackson was a long-time fan of Cirque du Soleil and had always intended to work with the company which has its headquarters in Montreal.<br><br>"The opportunity just never presented itself," says the choreographer, who sees Cirque and Jackson's shared appreciation of fantasy, escapism and sheer scale as an excellent fit.<br><br>Michael Jackson never did anything by halves. Cirque has a similarly healthy appreciation of extraordinary production values - which explains why four jumbo jets are required to carry the cast, crew, costumes and props. (In Europe, the production travelled in 38 trucks.)</p><br><p align="center"></p><br><p align="center"><span style="font-size:8pt;line-height:100%"><span style="color:orange"> scene from Cirque du Soleil's Michael Jackson: The Immortal World Tour.

Payne sees The Immortal World Tour as an opportunity to recast Jackson as more than a tragic figure.<br><br>"All great artists have a certain amount of tragedy - that's where the art comes from," he says.<br><br>"But with Michael it has been so polarising. There has been so much speculation about him over the years, because he was such a private person.<br><br>"I feel like we have gotten so far away from his art in past years, now we can just return to the great songs and the great imagery and the great ideas that endure."<br><br>Having said that, he says the tour is more than a faithful "tribute show".<br><br>"You really can't do a Michael Jackson show without Michael Jackson," says Payne. "This is our interpretation of what he would have done. What we have learned from him - personally and through his work. To translate that into new experiences."</p><br><p align="center"><span style="font-size:8pt;line-height:100%"><span style="color:yellow">Traduzione:</span></span></p><br><p align="center"><span style="font-size:14pt;line-height:100%">Genuis di Michael Jackson sotto il tendone con Cirque du Soleil<br></span></p><br><p align="center">LAVORANDO sul Cirque du Soleil's extravagant Michael Jackson tributo fase era un'esperienza"agrodolce" per lungo tempo collaboratore di Jackson, Travis Payne.<br><br>"Non un giorno è andato senza mi manca davvero lui," dice il coreografo Emmy-nominato. "Non avevo mai andato attraverso un processo di Michael Jackson senza di lui. Che è stata molto dura a volte. Ma il risultato finale era valsa la pena."<br><br>Payne fu riunito con costumista Zaldy Goco, batterista Jonathan "Sugarfoot" Moffett e molti altri membri del team creativo di Jackson The Immortal World Tour, un'arena spettacolo ispirata musica della pop star.<br><br>«Ci sono stati molte produzioni poiché Michael di passando per celebrare lui, ma nessuno con tanti di noi che si uniscono,» dice Payne.<br><br>"Ho davvero pensare è per questo che funziona. Per molti di noi, l'ultima volta che abbiamo lavorato insieme era con Michael.

Cirque ha un apprezzamento allo stesso modo sano di valori di produzione straordinaria - che spiega perché sono tenuti a portare il cast, equipaggio, costumi e oggetti di scena quattro jumbo jet.

Payne vede The Immortal World Tour come un'opportunità per la rifusione di Jackson come più di una figura tragica.<br><br>"Tutti i grandi artisti hanno una certa quantità di tragedia - che è da dove proviene l'arte," dice.<br><br>«Ma con Michael è stato così polarizzante. Ci sono state speculazioni così tanto su di lui nel corso degli anni, perché era una persona privata.<br><br>"Mi sento come abbiamo ottenuto finora dalla sua arte negli anni passati, ora possiamo tornare solo per le grandi canzoni e le immagini grandi e le grandi idee che sopportare."<br><br>Dopo aver detto che, dice il tour è più di un fedele "tribute show".<br><br>"Davvero non uno spettacolo di Michael Jackson senza Michael Jackson," dice Payne. "Questa è la nostra interpretazione di ciò che avrebbe fatto. Che cosa abbiamo imparato da lui - personalmente e attraverso il suo lavoro.

He’s immortal.”<br><br>In the weeks that followed, news programs, magazines, and biographies confirmed his passing; Jackson was, after all, a mere mortal like you and me.<br><br>However, as my cousins and I sat inside the Asian World Expo auditorium in Hong Kong, I realized that others shared my sentiments on Jackson’s “immortality.” Not only did Cirque du Soleil believe in it; they even created a show about it.<br><br>It was not really surprising that Cirque du Soleil came up with such an idea because I felt that I had grown up with this award-winning circus act. I watched my first Cirque show in 2005 also in Hong Kong during its “Quidam” tour. Before I stepped inside the Grand Chapiteau, otherwise known as the iconic blue-and-yellow big top, my mother pulled me to point out that this particular circus was “different” than the others.<br><br>When I asked how so, she simply said, “It’s artistic. And there are no animals.” As an impressionable 12-year-old, I honestly thought, what kind of circus had no animals and expected to entertain everyone?<br><br>Cirque proved that it was indeed different. It was really more than “different and artistic”—but rather brilliant, breathtaking, haunting, magical and, dare I say it, life-changing.<br><br>After the show, I stepped out high from the adrenaline; I had just been introduced to an entirely new world of art, the kind that fused acrobatics with its story lines.<br><br>I wanted to run away and join Cirque myself. But because of my inability to touch my toes and do a proper split, I would have to settle for something else.<br><br>I spent the next eight years following Cirque’s every move through the news and its DVDs. I was blessed enough to watch a number of its live performances such as “Zaia,” “Varekai,” and “Saltimbanco” in Asia, as well as “The Beatles Love” in Las Vegas.<br><br>“Love” was a spectacular show that reduced me to tears.<br><br>But I was skeptical when I entered the arena to see the “Michael Jackson The Immortal World Tour.” Four years after his death, there have been Michael Jackson memorial concerts too numerous to mention.<br><br>Yet what made the Cirque show stand out was that it interpreted Jackson’s life and music through dance and aerobics.<br><br>There was never a dull moment onstage. Cirque’s version of “Dancing Machine” was literally that: a dancing performer strapped to a makeshift machine. One scene featured a femme fatale character on a pole, leaving everyone drooling as the performer swung around to “Dangerous.”<br><br>“Human Nature” took a more whimsical turn with the classic Cirque act: hoop aerialists spinning 50 feet in the air while the background transformed into a large galaxy.<br><br>Another act featured two aerialists strapped to one another as they skillfully glided through the auditorium to “I Just Can’t Stop Loving You,” taking the Jackson ballad to new heights.<br><br>During the “Is It Scary?” segment, one of the main characters flipped through a giant book to reveal a contortionist dressed as a reptile hidden between the pages.<br><br>For “Scream,” the stage turned into a giant trampoline. The men performed gymnastic routines while bouncing up and down the stage.<br><br>The show also featured Bubbles, Jackson’s chimpanzee pet, who made several appearances onstage.<br><br>The recreation of the gates of the Neverland Ranch was used as a prop a number of times, especially in the opening when performers danced to “Childhood.”<br><br>Another remarkable moment came when larger-than-life versions of Jackson’s sequined glove and black shoes with white socks appeared onstage and moved to the beat of one of his songs.<br><br>Jackson’s love for humanity was interpreted with the performers holding onto illuminated heart-shaped balloons in one segment.<br><br>The performers’ costumes were patterned after some of Jackson’s most iconic looks, from the red “Beat It” coat to his leather jacket from “Bad.” Some outfits even lit up and changed color.<br><br>The show ended with “Man in the Mirror,” with all performers waving flags from different nations as the heartwarming lyrics blared through the entire arena. The audience felt as though they had been given the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see Jackson “live.”<br><br>Cirque du Soleil brought him back to life through his music, his love and inspiring message, and passed on his legacy to thousands of adoring fans, new and old, making the King of Pop most certainly immortal.”</p><br><p align="center"><span style="font-size:8pt;line-height:100%"><span style="color:yellow">TRADUZIONE:</span></span></p><br><p align="center"><span style="font-size:14pt;line-height:100%">Michael vive Via Cirque Du Soleil</span></p><br><p align="center">Ysabel Cacho, lavorando per l'investigatore quotidiano filippino, ha scritto un ottimo pezzo sui suoi sentimenti dopo che Michael passato lontano e come il 's Cirque Du Soleil "Michael Jackson Immortal World tour" nelle Filippine ha aiutata attraverso quei momenti difficili.<br><br>Ci auguriamo che suo conto,<br><br>"Quando ho sentito parlare di morte di Michael Jackson nel giugno 2009, guardò dritto negli occhi della newsbearer e disse:"che è impossibile. Egli è immortale."<br><br>Nelle settimane che seguirono, notiziari, riviste, e biografie ha confermato la sua scomparsa; Jackson era, dopo tutto, un semplice mortale come voi e me.<br><br>Tuttavia, come i miei cugini ed io seduto all'interno dell'auditorium Asian World Expo di Hong Kong, mi sono reso conto che altri comuni miei sentimenti sulla immortalità"di Jackson." Non solo il Cirque du Soleil ha creduto in esso; hanno anche creato uno spettacolo su di esso.<br><br>Non era davvero sorprendente che Cirque du Soleil avvicinò con un'idea del genere perché sentivo che io avevo cresciuti con questo atto di circo premiato. Ho guardato il mio primo spettacolo del Cirque nel 2005 anche a Hong Kong durante il suo tour "Quidam". Prima ho fatto un passo dentro il Grand Chapiteau, altrimenti noto come l'iconico tendone blu e giallo, mia madre mi ha tirato a sottolineare che questo particolare circo era "diverso" rispetto agli altri.<br><br>Quando ho chiesto come mai, disse semplicemente: "è artistico. E non ci sono animali." Come un impressionabile 12-year-old, onestamente pensavo, che tipo di circo non aveva animali e previsto intrattenere tutti?<br><br>Cirque ha dimostrato che era in effetti diverso. Era davvero più di "diversi e artistico" — ma piuttosto brillante, mozzafiato, ossessionante, magico e, oserei dire, cambia la vita.<br><br>Dopo lo spettacolo, fatto un passo fuori alto dall'adrenalina; Avevo appena stato introdotto ad un mondo completamente nuovo di arte, del tipo che fuse acrobazie con le sue linee di storia.<br><br>Volevo scappare e Cirque unirsi a me. Ma a causa della mia incapacità di toccare le dita dei piedi e fare una scissione corretta, avrei dovuto accontentarsi di qualcosa d'altro.<br><br>Ho trascorso i successivi otto anni a seguito ogni mossa di Cirque attraverso le notizie e relativo DVD. Sono stato benedetto sufficiente per guardare un certo numero di sue esibizioni dal vivo come "Zaia," "Varekai" e "Saltimbanco" in Asia, così come "The Beatles Love" di Las Vegas.<br><br>"Amore" è stato uno show spettacolare che mi ha ridotto alle lacrime.<br><br>Ma ero scettico quando ho inserito l'arena per vedere il "Michael Jackson Immortal World Tour." Quattro anni dopo la sua morte, ci sono stati concerti di Michael Jackson memorial troppo numerosi da menzionare.<br><br>Eppure ciò che ha reso lo spettacolo del Cirque spiccano era che esso interpretato vita di Jackson e la musica attraverso la danza e aerobica.<br><br>Non ci fu mai un momento di noia sul palco. Versione Cirque di "Dancing Machine" è stato letteralmente che: un performer danza legato a una macchina improvvisata. Una scena ha caratterizzato un carattere di femme fatale su un palo, lasciando tutti sbavando come performer oscillato intorno a "Dangerous".<br><br>"Natura umana" ha preso una piega più capricciosa con l'atto di Cirque classico: trapezisti filatura 50 piedi in aria mentre lo sfondo trasformato in una grande galassia a cerchio.<br><br>Un altro atto ha caratterizzato due trapezisti, legati a un altro come essi abilmente scivolò attraverso l'auditorium a "Io proprio non riesco a smettere di amarti," prendendo la ballata di Jackson a nuove altezze.<br><br>Durante il segmento "È spaventoso?", uno dei personaggi principali sfogliato un libro gigante per rivelare un contorsionista vestito come un rettile nascosto tra le pagine.<br><br>Per "Scream", il palco si è trasformato in un trampolino gigante. Gli uomini hanno eseguito le routine di ginnastica mentre rimbalzare su e giù per il palcoscenico.<br><br>L'esposizione ha caratterizzato anche bolle, animale domestico di scimpanzé di Jackson, che ha fatto diverse apparizioni sul palco.<br><br>La ricreazione delle porte del Neverland Ranch era usata come un puntello più volte, soprattutto in apertura quando interpreti ballavano a "Infanzia".<br><br>Un altro straordinario momento è venuto quando versioni larger-than-life di Jackson guanto di paillettes e scarpe nere con calzini bianchi è apparso sul palco e si è trasferito al ritmo di una delle sue canzoni.<br><br>Amore di Jackson per l'umanità è stata interpretata con la performer trattenendo illuminati palloncini a forma di cuore in un segmento.<br><br>Costumi esecutori sono stati modellati dopo alcuni sguardi più iconici di Jackson, dal "Beat It" cappotto rosso alla sua giacca di pelle da "Cattivo". Alcuni abiti anche illuminato e cambiato colore.<br><br>Lo spettacolo si è concluso con "Man in the Mirror," con tutti gli attori sventolando bandiere da diverse nazioni come i testi commovente squillò attraverso tutta l'arena. Il pubblico si sentiva come se essi era stata data l'opportunità irripetibile di vedere Jackson "vivere".<br><br>Cirque du Soleil lo ha riportato in vita attraverso la sua musica, il suo amore e il

"There are certain numbers we might redo, but I don't think we would change the entire format."<br><br>In August, "Immortal" will once again visit Mexico City's Palacio de los Deportes, where it experienced some of its most lucrative business after grossing $13.2 million from 14 performances in 2012, according to Billboard Boxscore.<br><br>"We're positive we can sell another maybe 120,000-140,000 tickets in a second run," says Renato Herrera, executive VP at concert promoter OCESA, which operates the venue.<br><br>Herrera says there are also talks about taking "Immortal" to smaller arenas in such South American markets as Colombia, Argentina and Brazil.<br><br>Additionally, Cirque is in discussions with international promoters about bringing "Immortal" back to various parts of the world. With 407 shows under its belt, the trek has visited 25 countries on four continents. International dates haven't been confirmed beyond a lengthy run in Dubai, which goes through mid-January 2014.<br><br>"It's very tough to do one-offs with this show, because we have to bring all of the equipment with us," Taylor says. "We have to work on establishing some kind of regional leg or regional tour before we can get anywhere.

It’s more intimate, both physically — the theater capacity is 1,800 — and in its sense of storytelling.<br><br><br>“It’s a totally different approach,” said Travis Payne, an Atlanta native and choreographer for both shows.<br><br><br>“ ‘Immortal’ is much more of a rock concert, and ‘Michael Jackson One’ is more of a Broadway production. There’s more detail, and sometimes you lose that in the grandeur of an arena,” Payne said.<br><br><br>Jackson’s music, of course, is the centerpiece — about 28 songs or pieces of songs are heard during “One.” As well, his oft-documented irritation at the press and paparazzi is presented immediately upon entering the theater on screens decorated with screaming fake tabloid covers.<br><br><br>But the tone shifts with the arrival of four misfit teens — Clumsy, Shy, Smarty Pants and Sneaky — who are referred to as the “Heroes” and are the vague guides through the production (keep an eye on them wandering around the crowd a few minutes before showtime).<br><br><br>Clumsy learns to dance with the help of Jackson’s magical shoes during “Bad,” and, in one of the show’s most tender moments, Smarty Pants finds Jackson’s trademark fedora and reclaims her childlike innocence during his wistful version of “Smile.”<br><br><br>But the highlights of the 90-minute production come, of course, with the dancing. Though “One” features more typical Cirque-like behavior — wall-bouncing acrobatics, dazzling martial arts routines — it mostly concentrates on elaborate dance routines sprinkled with gymnastic prowess.<br><br><br>“One of our keywords with this show was ‘integrated,’ ” Payne said. “Really integrating the dance, the acrobatics. And then, of course, since it’s Michael Jackson, there’s a significant amount of dance information to include. I think we were able to find a wonderful balance. I always had to take into account the voice of Michael, what I thought he’d feel, or how he’d make it better.”<br><br><br>Without a doubt, Jackson would beam upon witnessing the awesome rhythmic gymnasts during “Smooth Criminal” perfectly aping his iconic “lean” and marvel at the “Cats” meets “The Walking Dead” costumes and faithful reproduction of dance moves during “Thriller” (careful, there might be a werewolf in the aisles).<br><br><br>Also helping to make “One” an immersive experience is the crisp sound. Those unaccustomed to concertgoing might find it exceedingly loud, but you will hear the tinkling synthesizers of “Human Nature” and breathy undertones of “Earth Song” with startling clarity.<br><br><br>“I wanted to make sure we could sonically inspire the entire room. You can have a ton of speakers, but it’s all about making the technology seem transparent,” said Kevin Antunes, musical director for “One.”<br><br><br>There are more than 5,800 speakers in the theater, in headrests and on walls and in places unseen. That precise sound is particularly noticeable on the show-closing “Black or White,” performed within a rousing, carnival-like scene.<br><br><br>Antunes said director King chose “Black or White” as the finale in part because of its iconic video that will ring familiar with the worldwide audiences who make pilgrimages to Vegas, and also to end on a powerful, uplifting note.</p><br><p align="center"><span style="color:yellow">TRADUZIONE:</span></p><br><p align="center"><b>Ultimo spettacolo del Cirque du Soleil a Las Vegas è la seconda messa a fuoco su musica di Michael Jackson</b></p><br><p align="center">LAS VEGAS mai sottovalutare il fascino di Michael Jackson.<br><br>Più di quattro anni dopo la sua morte prematura, il behemoth pop ha comandato il mondo del Cirque du Soleil, prima con incredibilmente popolare "Immortal World Tour" che guadagnò vantarsi come l'alto-grossing 2012 road show con più di $163 milioni nelle vendite di biglietti, e ora con "Michael Jackson uno," Le Cirque permanente più recente mostrano sistemati al Mandalay Bay Hotel and Casino<br><br>Mentre "Immortale" è impostato per tornare arene del prossimo anno e "One" appena inaugurato a Las Vegas quest'estate, c'è poca preoccupazione per la concorrenza perché gli spettacoli sono significativamente diversi, anche se entrambi sono diretti da Jamie King, che ha iniziato la sua carriera come ballerina in tour "Pericoloso" di Jackson.<br><br><br>"Immortale", che ha giocato più spettacoli presso la Philips Arena nel giugno 2012, tendeva a perdersi nella propria grandiosità, con un cast di più di 200 e una vertiginosa serie di azioni necessarie per gratificare i sensi in un'arena cavernoso.<br><br><br>"Uno", in confronto, fa un passo indietro. Esso ha più intimo, entrambi fisicamente — la capienza del teatro è 1.800 — e nel suo senso della narrazione.<br><br><br>"È un approccio totalmente diverso," ha dichiarato Travis Payne, un nativo di Atlanta e coreografo per entrambe le esposizioni.<br><br><br>"'Immortale' è molto più di un concerto rock, e 'Uno di Michael Jackson' è più di una produzione di Broadway. Non esiste più in dettaglio, e a volte che si perde nella grandiosità di un'arena,"Payne ha detto.<br><br><br>Musica di Jackson, naturalmente, è il fulcro — circa 28 canzoni o pezzi di canzoni sono sentiti durante "One". Pure, sua irritazione spesso documentato presso la stampa e i paparazzi è presentato immediatamente entrando il teatro su schermi decorati con urla tabloid falso copre.<br><br><br>Ma il tono si sposta con l'arrivo di quattro adolescenti disadattato — goffo, timido, Smarty Pants e subdolo — che sono indicati come "Eroi" e sono le guide vaghe attraverso la produzione (tenere d'occhio il loro vagare intorno la folla qualche minuto prima di showtime).<br><br><br>Clumsy impara a ballare con l'aiuto di scarpe magiche di Jackson durante il "Cattivo" e, in uno dei momenti più tenere dello show, Smarty Pants trova fedora marchio Jackson e reclama la sua innocenza Infanta durante la sua versione malinconica di "Sorriso".<br><br><br>Ma i punti salienti della produzione 90 minuti vengono, naturalmente, con la danza. Anche se "Uno" presenta più tipici Cirque-come comportamento — parete-rimbalzando acrobazie, abbagliante routine di arti marziali — si concentra principalmente su coreografie elaborate cosparse di prodezze ginniche.<br><br><br>"Una delle nostre parole chiavi con questo spettacolo è stato 'integrato',"Payne detto".Davvero integrare la danza, le acrobazie. E poi, naturalmente, trattandosi di Michael Jackson, c'è una notevole quantità di informazioni di danza da includere. Penso che siamo riusciti a trovare un equilibrio meraviglioso. Ho sempre dovuto prendere in considerazione la voce di Michael, quello che ho pensato che si sarebbe sentito o come egli lo rendono migliore."<br><br><br>Senza dubbio, Jackson avrebbe fascio a testimoniare le ginnaste ritmiche impressionante durante "Smooth Criminal" scimmiottare perfettamente il suo iconico "magro" e ammirate i "gatti" incontra "The Walking Dead" costumi e fedele riproduzione della danza si muove durante "Thriller" (attenzione, che ci potrebbe essere un lupo mannaro nelle navate laterali).<br><br><br>Anche contribuendo a fare "Uno" un'esperienza immersiva è il suono croccante. Quelli non abituato a concertgoing potrebbe trovare estremamente forte, ma si sente i sintetizzatori tintinnanti della "Natura umana" e breathy sfumature di "Earth Song" con sorprendente chiarezza.<br><br><br>"Voluto assicurarsi che noi potremmo sonicamente ispirare l'intera stanza. Si può avere una tonnellata di oratori, ma è tutto di rendere la tecnologia sembrano trasparenti, ha detto Kevin Antunes, direttore musicale per "Uno".<br><br><br>Ci sono più di 5.800 altoparlanti nel teatro, nei poggiatesta e sulle pareti e in luoghi invisibili. Preciso che il suono è particolarmente evidente sul Visualizza-chiusura "nero o bianco," eseguita all'interno di una scena travolgente, Carnevale-come.<br><br><br>Antunes ha detto direttore re ha scelto "Black or White" come il finale in parte a causa del suo video iconico che suonerà familiare con il pubblico in tutto il mondo che fare pellegrinaggi a Las Vegas e anche alla fine una nota potente, edificante.</p><br><p align="center"><a href="http://www.timesdispatch.com/entertainment-life/travel/cirque-du-soleil-s-latest-show-in-vegas-is-the/article_a00bbbc8-abcd-531f-b1c8-fc0fa965126c.html" target="_blank">http://www.timesdispatch.com/entertainment...0fa965126c.html</a></p> </table> <tr class="title2 bottom"> <td class="left Item"> <td class="right Item Justify"><div class="mini_buttons lt Sub"></div> <div class="rt Sub"> <a href="#Top" class="p_up UP"><img src="http://icons.iconarchive.com/icons/custom-icon-design/pretty-office-5/16/navigate-up-icon.png" width="16" height="16" alt="Top"></a></div><div class="Break Sub">.</div> </table> </li> <li id="ee549171334" class="post box_visitatore box_offline"><div class="anchor"><a id="entry549171334"></a></div> <table width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> <tr class="title2 top"> <td class="left Item"><div class="nick">two4mj</div> <td class="right Item Justify"><div class="lt Sub"><a href="/?t=65577040&p=549171334" rel="nofollow"><img src="https://img.forumfree.net/index_file/post.gif" width="8" height="9" alt="view post" title="view post"></a> <a href="/?t=65577040#entry549171334" rel="nofollow"><span class="when"><span>Posted on</span> 30/12/2013, 20:14</span></a></div><div class="mini_buttons points Sub"> <span id="points549171334" class="points"><a class="points_up opacity" href="javascript:void(0)" onclick="window.location.href='/?act=Login'"><img src="http://icons.iconarchive.com/icons/yusuke-kamiyamane/fugue/16/thumb-up-icon.png" width="16" height="16" alt="Top"></a> <a class="points_down opacity" href="javascript:void(0)" onclick="window.location.href='/?act=Login'"><img src="https://img.forumfree.net/index_file/thumbs_down.png" alt="-1" title="-1"></a></span></div> <div class="mini_buttons rt Sub"></div><div class="Break Sub">.</div> <tr class="center"> <td class="left Item"><div class="details"> <p><span class="u_title">User deleted</span></p> <br class="br_status"> </div> <td class="right Item" width="100%"> <table class="color" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td><tr><td> <p align="center"><span style="color:yellow"><b>The man in Michael’s mirror</b></span></p><br><p align="center"><span style="color:orange"><b>Meet Jamie King, the celebrity choreographer who has interpreted Michael Jackson’s story for a Cirque Du Soleil show</b></span></p><br><p align="center"></p><br><p align="center">Both Michael Jackson and Cirque du Soleil are mavericks in their field, says dancer and choreographer Jamie King, director of Michael Jackson: The Immortal World Tour, the massive show that rolls into Dubai this Monday.<br><br>“When I looked out my hotel window and saw all these huge buildings and the manmade islands, I felt, this is Michael,” King said during an interview with tabloid! in September. “Michael Jackson believed in the illogical. What you have created here is not just remarkable but seems just as illogical. I feel Michael would have wanted to be here. He was not just a global superstar but wanted the world to become one.

The show, with 60-plus performers, is a fusion of visuals, dance, music and fantasy from the late King of Pop’s work. And King, as the director, is the pivot on which it rests.<br><br>“How can you not have a big show if you mix the world of Cirque du Soleil and Michael Jackson, the greatest entertainer in the world? As a writer-director it is a huge responsibility,” said King. “It has actors, artists, dancers, acrobats, and musicians… all things Michael Jackson loved. It’s a combination of theatre and a rock-style show. The music, the acrobatics, the dances are all larger than life. No one can be Michael — he was one of a kind. But what we can do, and respectfully, is making sure we have a cast that is diverse yet interprets Michael in the best possible way. There will be 65 Michaels on stage. It will be reliving, in the most spectacular way, those moments we all love about Michael Jackson”.</p><br><p align="center"><span style="color:Yellow">TRADUZIONE:</span></p><br><p align="center"><b>L'uomo nello specchio di Michael<br></b></p><br><p align="center"><b>Incontra Jamie King, il coreografo di celebrità che ha interpretato la storia di Michael Jackson per uno spettacolo del Cirque Du Soleil<br></b></p><br><p align="center">Sia Michael Jackson e Cirque du Soleil sono i mavericks nel loro campo, dice il ballerino e coreografo Jamie King, direttore di Michael Jackson: The Immortal World Tour, lo spettacolo massiccio che rotola in Dubai questo lunedì.<br><br>"Quando ho guardato fuori dalla mia finestra dell'albergo e ho visto tutti questi edifici enormi e le isole artificiali, sentito, questo è Michael," King ha detto durante un'intervista con tabloid! nel mese di settembre. "Michael Jackson credeva nell'illogica. Quello che avete creato qui non è solo notevole, ma sembra proprio come illogico. Sento che Michael avrebbe voluto essere qui. Egli non era solo una superstar globale ma ha voluto il mondo per diventare uno.

But as an adult, his music carried a wide-eyed naivete, a certain playfulness, and sometimes an annoying brattiness that dovetailed with his Peter Pan obsession.<br><br>This regression surfaced as his career reached intergalactic heights with the 1982 release of "Thriller," which became the biggest-selling pop album of all time - 25 million copies in the first year alone. Jackson was just 24 years old.<br><br>By then, his career had already been through a few groundbreaking phases - first as the focal point of The Jackson 5; then as a teen solo act, perhaps his most underrated period; and then as a member of the Jacksons, the grown-up and self-directed family group that broke from Motown and signed with Epic Records in 1975.<br><br>For most of the '80s, the King of Pop ruled the airwaves and MTV, the cable station that played few videos by black artists until Jackson's "Billie Jean." But Jackson's fall from grace is almost as mythic as his rise to superstardom: the plastic surgeries that changed his face from an inviting brown to a cold alabaster mask; the bizarre companionship with Bubbles, a chimpanzee; and the allegations of child sexual abuse in the early '90s, the proverbial nail in the coffin that contained his career.<br><br>Jackson's influence was immense long before he died in 2009. Since then, his glory years have been reassessed, often with a glossy coat of sentimentality, which usually happens when a pop legend is no longer around.<br><br>But few have been reimagined through the prodigiously outlandish lens of Cirque du Soleil, the Canadian entertainment franchise known for its tricked-out mix of circus arts and Vegas-style choreography.<br><br>Cirque's "Michael Jackson: The Immortal World Tour" stops at Scope in Norfolk today and Saturday. The spectacle featuring a small army of dancers, acrobats and a shifting set of dreamlike renderings of Jackson's iconic music videos was produced in full cooperation with the artist's estate. The show centers on Michael Jackson the fantasy, the untouchable star whose classics - "Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough," "Beat It" and "Billie Jean" - became cultural touchstones. It's a gloriously celebratory show fully aware of itself, a family-friendly circus with dazzling props and costumes and dancers twisting and spinning in midair.<br><br>But, in a way, all the glitzy arena-size whimsy implies the chaos, and maybe even the darkness, of Jackson's private life; particularly in the last 20 years of it, when he largely retreated into a world of fantasy, perhaps to escape the trauma of an unhappy childhood. In the twilight years of his career, he lamented such sadness in song.<br><br>For those old enough to remember when Jackson was a brilliantly marketed pop ubiquity, when songs from "Thriller" spun on almost every radio format save for country, when he introduced the moonwalk to the mainstream on "Motown 25," and when his Jheri curl caught fire during the filming of a Pepsi commercial, the Cirque du Soleil show is a fantastic voyage through a marvel of a career, the likes of which will probably never happen again.<br><br>At least, not in a cynical era of social media obsessiveness and TMZ-style celebrity surveillance.<br><br>The Cirque show grandly reimagines the myth of the legend - the militaristic moves performed by trained professionals lacking Jackson's innate grace. His winsome voice haunts remixes of his hits as the set changes from a bedazzled street corner to a magical storybook come to life and several other opulent and expensive backdrops.<br><br>It's a nostalgic extravaganza and perhaps a fitting tribute to a man who transformed pop as he escaped into fantasy.</div><br><div style="text-align:center"><a href="http://hamptonroads.com/2014/04/king-pop-lives-cirque-spectacle" target="_blank">http://hamptonroads.com/2014/04/king-pop-l...irque-spectacle</a></div><br><br><span class="edit">Edited by ligary -

However, the music was performed by a live band, along with two backing vocalists, Jason Woods and jMarie. Together, they were in sync and sounded great. The two musical standouts were women — single-named cellist Mariko and mohawked guitarist Desiree Bassett, especially as they shared the solo to Beat It.<br><br>At its best, The Immortal World Tour captured the essence of Jackson’s message, and in hearing many of his best songs again, one is reminded that whatever one thought of him, he was deeply talented and put his all into his music.<br><br>The real stars of the show were the dancers and acrobats of Cirque, led by tall mime Mansour Abdessadok. He was the thread through most of the show, opening a door here, walking with Bubbles the chimp (Terrance Harrison) there, and twisting his rubbery limbs every which way. Also deserving special mention: one-legged dancer Jean Sok, twirling around on crutches.<br><br>There were “fanatics,” or clowns, if you will, resembling Jackson at various times of his career. Their antics opened both halves of the show.<br><br>Perhaps best of all was Anna Melnikova, who dazzled with her strength and flexibility while climbing a pole; contortionist Baaska Enkhbaatar, who turned the giant pages of a book in unbelievable ways; and aerial strap performers Giulia Piolanti and Igor Zaripov.<br><br>The only real negative was that the “scenes” of the show were vignettes on aspects of Jackson, as if they were part of a children’s book. If one looks at it in a literal or a linear sense, it didn’t succeed; but that probably wasn’t the point.<br><br>While not every scene was a hit, there were many highlights. Dancing Machine had the mime roll out to a motorized assembly line, with one dancer/robot connected by cables. On Smooth Criminal, dancers did the leaning motion, as others read newspapers while high up on street lamps. On They Don’t Care About Us, militaristic robots marched down the stage before acquiring hearts.<br><br>The simplest may have been the best scene, when the Jackson 5-aged Michael sang I’ll Be There to a solo piano.<br><br>Things could have ended there, but Cirque did a mash-up of his music — Can You Feel It, Don’t Stop Till You Get Enough, a too-short Billie Jean and Black or White; and the performers took their bows to Jackson’s show-closer, Man in the Mirror.</div><br><div style="text-align:center"><a href="http://www.dispatch.com/content/stories/local/2014/04/19/acrobats-real-stars-of-jackson-show.html" target="_blank">http://www.dispatch.com/content/stories/lo...ckson-show.html</a></div> </table> <tr class="title2 bottom"> <td class="left Item"> <td class="right Item Justify"><div class="mini_buttons lt Sub"></div> <div class="rt Sub"> <a href="#Top" class="p_up UP"><img src="http://icons.iconarchive.com/icons/custom-icon-design/pretty-office-5/16/navigate-up-icon.png" width="16" height="16" alt="Top"></a></div><div class="Break Sub">.</div> </table> </li> <li id="ee556283172" class="post box_amministratore box_founder box_female box_m5802219 box_anonimo"><div class="anchor"><a id="entry556283172"></a></div> <table width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> <tr class="title2 top"> <td class="left Item"><div class="nick"><a href="/?act=Profile&MID=5802219" class="user5802219" rel="nofollow">ligary</a></div> <td class="right Item Justify"><div class="lt Sub"><a href="/?t=65577040&p=556283172" rel="nofollow"><img src="https://img.forumfree.net/index_file/post.gif" width="8" height="9" alt="view post" title="view post"></a> <a href="/?t=65577040#entry556283172" rel="nofollow"><span class="when"><span>Posted on</span> 29/4/2014, 08:29</span></a></div><div class="mini_buttons points Sub"> <span id="points556283172" class="points"><a class="points_up opacity" href="javascript:void(0)" onclick="window.location.href='/?act=Login'"><img src="http://icons.iconarchive.com/icons/yusuke-kamiyamane/fugue/16/thumb-up-icon.png" width="16" height="16" alt="Top"></a> <a class="points_down opacity" href="javascript:void(0)" onclick="window.location.href='/?act=Login'"><img src="https://img.forumfree.net/index_file/thumbs_down.png" alt="-1" title="-1"></a></span></div> <div class="mini_buttons rt Sub"></div><div class="Break Sub">.</div> <tr class="center"> <td class="left Item"><div class="details"> <a class="avatar" href="/?act=Profile&MID=5802219" rel="nofollow"><img src="https://dumpshare.net/images/7053654ligary.jpg" width="160" height="158" alt="Avatar" onError="this.src='https://img.forumfree.net/style_images/avatar_nn.png';this.style.width=this.style.height"></a> <p><span class="u_title">This is it</span> <br><span class="u_rank"><img src="http://i33.tinypic.com/ilbwxt.gif" alt=""></span></p> <dl class="u_group"><dt>Group<dd>Administrator</dl> <dl class="u_posts"><dt>Posts<dd><a href="/?act=Search&MID=5802219" rel="nofollow">8,147</a></dl> <dl class="u_location"><dt>Location<dd>Lost Country</dl> <br class="br_status"><dl class="u_status" title="Anonymous"><dt>Status<dd><img src="http://icons.iconarchive.com/icons/iconshock/super-vista-general/64/administrator-icon.png" alt=""></dl> </div> <td class="right Item" width="100%"> <table class="color" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td><tr><td> <div style="text-align:center"><br><img alt="" src="https://i1.ytimg.com/vi/t2uOGj3jmpA/mqdefault.jpg"><br><br><br>BeLIEve (The MJDHI) Michael Jackson (THE IMMORTAL World Tour)<br>steamyhotlatin<br><br><a rel="nofollow" href=""//www.youtube.com/embed/t2uOGj3jmpA" frameborder="0">Video</a><br><br><br>28/apr/2014<br>***No copyright infringement intended***<br><br>(For illustrative & entertainment purposes only)<br><br>Want to follow the illusion?
