A stadium is like a theater, Playing football is like a ballet,
I think the way Messi plays,
to see how Messi moves,
this is how we want to do it on stage,
We are very inspired by the way he dances on the court,
He glides so beautifully that he makes it look easy,
Very strategic, very smart,
I want that kind of intellect to be felt in the performance,
My first task was to find out what kind of concept
I could create for a player, a legend like Messi,
People expect you to tell his life
story, and I would avoid just that,
since the story is already out there,
Last season I played for a few minutes before I was injured,
Now I'm happy to be back,
They scored five goals and I was hoping to score goals,
All in all, it went very well,
There were several experienced players, such as Luis Enrique, Xavi, MÃ¡rquez,,,
That went really well,
What I finally came up with were ten
qualities that make up an icon like Messi,
The first thing we wanted to explore was the art of exercising,
Sing when you go out,
You have an audience now, Attack them on the way out,
party and sing with them, enjoy the moment with them,
If you do it for yourself, they will not join the party,
But if you go out while
you party, they will love it,
As far as you can,
The second element was the art of dribble,
The football players have their limitations, but Leo overcomes them all,
Another trait I wanted to focus
on was the fact that Messi is fast,
Speed,
We wanted to show you what happens
when you have Messi's incredible balance,
And what happens when you lack Messi's balance,
We wanted to create the Yin and Yang, the opposites,
Towards the end of the first part, we focus on strength,
MAKES WEAKNESS TO YOUR GREAT STRENGTH
This is the first part of the show,
In the second part, we start with the place
where all the creativity of Messi came from,
Athletic confidence,
So we go back to street football,
From there we go from the past to the future,
And the future celebrates:
"How do young people today know about Messi?"
Through computer games,
Computer games are big in football,
ONLY WAY
TO STOP MESSI? PRESS PAUSE
The next part of the show is more poetic, and
here we focus on what counts in Messi's life,
The fans who support him on the field,
Thank you!
And those who support him off the field, namely his family,
Afterwards we go to Messi's two last unique features,
One is his vision,
He knows what steps he must take to achieve his goal on the field,
From there we enter the final celebration,
which is why everyone loves Messi,
namely, the number of goals he scores,
-Messi,,, -The first for Barcelona!
Goal!
Leo Messi!
-The shot,,, -Messi!
Goal!
Welcome to Messi10 of Cirque du Soleil,
Get ready, because this is going to be a raw show,
Oh, we can not say "raw",
MESSI WORKED HARD FOR SEVENTEEN YEARS
TO BECOME A STAR OVERNIGHT
MESSI CIRQUE: THE CREATION OF CIRQUE DU SOLEILS MESSI10
BARCELONA, SPAIN
350 DAYS TO THE PREMIERE OF CIRQUE DU SOLEILS MESSI10
Barcelona is the place where Leo got to grow,
This is where he made his career, and it
was the place where he made great progress,
I think the place makes Messi feel invincible,
Do you sign my face before the interview?
-Where? -Here, please,
-Really? -I would kill for you!
How can the football world and the circus world meet?
The idea that started this project
was that football without fans is nothing,
They cry, they laugh, they get angry at
the players, and then they love them again,
It's the same with Cirque du Soleil's audience
I felt there was something there that we needed to address,
It's a story there,
We had to keep this in mind, we had
to understand it, and make sense of it,
The football god!
We have never worked with an athlete,
so it's something completely new to us,
We had to take it as a challenge,
Cirque du Soleil is about that,
It's hard to imagine
how the circus should be able to give such a twist to football,
We are inspired by how big he is, and
how fantastic he is as a football player,
But we should not sing Messi songs
during the performance,
Therefore, we have a different approach,
The circus, with its way of seeing the world,
a theater company that changes the circus 'historical paradigm and the
circus' natural parameters consisting of a presenter and a language,
it removes the storytelling, the language and the animals,
Imagine that team,,, and a guy who changed football,
People said to us:
"He does not talk much, he makes few comments,"
We would love to hear his feedback to know
if we went in a direction he was happy with,
We went into this without knowing what to expect,
We are preparing for the presentation
with the main character tomorrow,
It will be great to get everyone together
in one room, so we can be together,
Over here is his player jersey from the first
time he played for the national team of Argentina,
It is the first time he is playing an official match
for Barcelona, ​​but he is not yet a professional,
Oh, you big,
And here are his gold shoes,
We were obviously nervous and anxious,
This is the most important football player of our time,
A man like Leo, who is inventive
and a great artist on the football field,
We are very happy to be here and finally meet you,
This will be the first time that
we present someone who is alive
in one of our performances,
So it can get a little inconvenient at times,
This is the concept we want to work with,
The show is not ready, we have to develop it,
But that is the essence of what we want to do,
A month or two ago I met Rodrigo, Pinto, and PopArt,
I asked them to give me one word
they would feel during the performance,
They said hard work, honesty, sacrifice, fans, passion, but one
word that recurred was that nothing is impossible in your life,
I think we were very lucky to have someone
like Messi, who has a very busy life,
He was open and self-sacrificing to the project,
And he is a very honest and humble man,
Most of the time I saw very little Mukhtar,
I looked at Messi to see about his reaction
showed what he liked and did not like,
It was interesting to see, as well as to
understand him a little better, it was good,
I would like to bring my family,
-how the journey was,,, -Excellent,
It's important, we give it to Mukthar and he creates something out of it,
Yes, that with the Mouse,,,
Only half of the audience will understand that,
The more feedback he gives, the better,
We would like to have him in the process,
There was a character in the show called The Mouse,
And the Mouse was the source of inspiration in Messi's life,
But the idea changed when we
presented the concept to Messi,
He wanted to honor his family
in the show in a unique way,
He said, "I'm here because of them, and people should know that,"
They supported him a lot in his life,
We had to present the concept to him three times,
To show him the innovation in the project, and how the project grew,
We show it to you, and if you give us comments, if
you want to change something, it's done quickly,
I understand, truth be told, I loved it all,
-but I would like to see it when,,, -Clear,
He wants to see the show,
I was touched, since he has full confidence in us,
and he wants to be like a child in the audience
who gets to see something for the first time,
Puh, We felt honored the first time, but
the second time we thought, "It was a hit,"
180 DAYS TO THE PREMIERE OF CIRQUE DU SOLEILS MESSI10
I used to be a choreographer, and worked a lot with dance,
The difference now is that I have the support that
comes with working for Cirque on the production side
and with the creative part,
I communicate with the
production team, the technical team,
but also with the coaches, the choreographers,
film and video manager, and lightman,
Since our vision is very clear, it is my job to
ensure that everyone has the opportunity to contribute
to realize the vision,
The creative process got a flaw when
we looked at the first drawings I had made,
It was an elevated, or abstract, slightly surreal,,,
,,, version of a football kit,
In some cases, I had to draw seven
or seven different drafts of a costume
before I ended up with the edition we use in the show,
The drafts we chose to go for had
something about them that radiated energy
to spectators at a football stadium,
When everyone agreed that it was true, we
felt that we had found the balance between,,,
,,, a recognizable football kit and our own version of it,
How do I feel?
Quite tense and terrified at the same time,
My God, so many possibilities,
So many, but help me, how do I choose the right idea?
So it's very exciting, but at the same time I'm thinking:
"Oh, I want to make the right choice,"
Asian faces are easier to work with,
Oh, so good,
We prefer to add dark color here,
-Yes,,, -To make wrinkles,
Yes, like your wrinkles,
It is funny! It's so much fun!
When I start my creative work, I want to wear makeup
which is not typical of Cirque,
I also want to try to mix things up, find a modern mix that has a
touch of Cirque, but at the same time evokes the feeling of sport,
It is about creating an expression that has not been done before,
When we start writing the story,,,
When Mukhtar wrote, we did not want to make a
football field, a square or a rectangle too literal,
We wanted to create a place to play computer games,
We mix elements from the children's world,
That kind of information and visual impressions
which belongs to the joy a child experiences
by playing with a ball in an alley,
You can do everything with one ball,
We want to make it easy,
It is the main experience, going from rounding a
computer game, shutting down the computer game,
and take the ball out into
an alley to kick football,
BARCELONA, SPAIN
150 DAYS TO THE PREMIERE OF CIRQUE DU SOLEILS MESS10
Today we are at the film studio Service Vision in Barcelona,
We have to film more scenes for the show,
We will work with original video content,
We have to make sure all the details are ready before Leo arrives,
We have to make sure that
everyone, whether you are a director
or you are a messenger, no matter what your role
is, that everyone knows what they are doing,
so we can we be as efficient as possible when he comes,
We must be fast, and most importantly, we must
create the best possible work in the time we have,
We perform a 3D scan, it is high-level technology
which we use to film Messi in 3D,
It's to show all the wonders of Messi,
Why is he so fast?
We show what the human eye does not see,
The next step in the creative process
after this is to return to Montreal,
It's exciting since we have three
weeks before the artists arrive,
We have hired all the artists in the show,
The physical work begins as soon as we return,
It is said that things happen when they are supposed to happen,
When I heard about the show about Messi,
my friends said to me, "You must go, they will choose you,"
I said to them, "No, just forget it,"
They said it was happening in Barcelona and Argentina,
I read the email
where they offered me a job and were surprised,
Geez! I started crying,
I was home, crying for three minutes
before calling my mother and crying,
and she thought something had happened to me,
I said I was in the Messi show, My family and I were so happy,
joining the world's best circus is just amazing,
Here it is,
Tomorrow we take a picture here, it's a good place
to play with ball like that,
Have you thought about that?
To me, Messi10 is a way of life,
How I sleep, what I eat and how I exercise,
That means staying here in Montreal, and then going on tour,
To be with people I do not know before,
Making new friends,
It is the beginning of a new phase in life,
But I also know that it will end someday,
Working with a robot makes you realize that the robot does the same thing every time,
It's just a programmed machine,
It causes some to break down,
Some people can be destroyed by a machine,
If you have too big an ego, and think:
"Oh, it's not like that,"
Then you will be affected,
But if you respect it, it's a great benefit to everyone,
That's what this means to me, quite simply,
Hello, Good?
How are you? Good?
Freestyle is to express something with the
ball with all body parts except the hands,
And we practice to music, and develop tricks with the head,
we practice on transitions, we practice while we are back,
and examines and creates things with the body using a ball,
Freestyle football is an art,
And one can express emotions with the help of this discipline,
Friction injuries from the rope, tears, pain,,,
It's hard,
Doing so means you really enjoy it,
You do not do rope for no reason, it is because you like it,
Our performances are intense,
I say no more, but,,,
,,, the performance is,,,
,,, "powerful",
Did you take baki too?
I cut everything,
Yes? Damn, Ok,
Fifteen Canadian dollars, -Fifteen? Ok,
My hair used to go down here,
-Is it true? -Yes,
I had long hair and braids,
It's cool,
One of the most important aspects when working with artists is,,,
,,, that I am not above them,
I am not greater than they,
because in the end, everyone is trying to create a great show,
I think the only way to bring out the best in
people is that they want to perform for you,
They are on your team, and you do this together,
I often forget that I work for Cirque du Soleil,
When you stop and look around, and see the
activity and the people, and you are a part of it,
It is easy to forget in the daily work, but,,,
,,, it's the world's largest circus, and we're in it,
Cirque is trying to find the new big thing, we are
trying to create trends, to be at the forefront,
In everything we create, there are always a few wild ideas that,,,
,,, possibly too crazy to try,
How to explain it?
PAUL CHARLEBOIS - TECHNICAL DIRECTOR CIRQUE DU SOLEILS MESSI10
They have requests and ideas, which we take further,
to a group of project managers who work with me,
And our team designs and designs the ideas,,,
,,, according to specifications,
So that they can work on stage,
For me, the most exciting moment is when we can achieve
One or two of those ideas, and realize them on stage,
So for me it is something that motivates me to create,
That's the most exciting thing,
QUESTION ID ID NO, 1 THE MAGICAL FOOTBALL
We made about seven prototypes with different working mechanisms,
It took a long time to find the best solution for
this, but now we are happy with what we came up with,
This is the shell of the ball, which is a 3D print,
On the inside is the structure of the robot, which is also a 3D print,
with some metal parts,
There is a counterweight at the bottom
which moves to the left and right, the ball
will move to the left and right to steer,
There's also a motor here that drives the
ball, it's attached here, and spins around,
which causes the ball to move forward and backward,
Messi football brings with it a whole bunch of balls,
there are many balls in the show,
So we wonder what we are going to do with all the
balls, and how they are going to be used in the show,
QUESTION ID ID NO, 2 ROBOTS
Each motor moves one joint,
In the same way as your arm, Wrist, elbow, shoulder, finger,
Then you can tell each engine how much it should move,
I interact within this programming,
I'm looking for a way to make it organic,
so the machine is not just a machine, but part of the imagination,
It is important to be creative,
even romantic, or a little dreamy,
How to be romantic with a robot?
It is not very romantic and quite brutal,
I can not say anything about the idea, I wonder who it was,
QUESTION ID ID NO, 3 FALL TRIBUNES
We went to Barcelona to record the crowd, I
did not just want to use a stereo microphone,
or a sound effect studio or something like that,
I wanted to get the real feeling,
Our sound system consists of several speakers, and I
wanted each microphone to be heard in a separate speaker,
so you can feel that it is not just one track
that is played from several audio sources,
So we set up 12 microphones around the whole course,
Then we recorded all the roars, the reactions, Messi's goals and all that,
Then we get a recording that we can really use,
We recorded it correctly just for ourselves, rather
than just using the same sound effects of crowds
as all others resort to,
Cirque is founded on its creativity, letting
people dream and find innovative ways
to entertain people,
Football is the same,
Football entertains people in the same way,
You have to use your creativity to beat your opponent,
And Messi, more than anyone else, is
always finding new ways to solve things,
For me, the key lies in finding the narrow
creative path that combines the two worlds,
Messi,,, looks for a hatch in the defense,,, he passes one, two,
Keeperen,,,
Goal!
Incredible Leo Messi!
You can look at football as a jazz concert,
It has both a structural and a technical part,
in addition, improvisation is very important,
Iniesta has been an improviser for years, like Messi,
when you least expect it, he takes off and plays a "solo",
He started playing in a way no one expected,
then something new keeps popping up,
120 DAYS TO THE PREMIERE OF CIRQUE DU SOLEILS MESSI10
When we were presented with the project to make a performance about Messi,
we were a little scared, because we had no idea
how football could be translated into acrobatics,
It was a huge challenge, and many sleepless nights,
We came up with a new word, "acrobatized football",
When we came up with it, it
was like it opened a small door
which gradually became larger and larger,
We became more confident that we could actually implement it,
We play football every morning, Fifteen minutes, it's fun,
Some of us had played before, while others had never touched a ball,
It's amazing to see how the body begins to move and discover things,
To be honest, I can count the number of
football matches I have watched in one hand,
I have no idea what offside is,
I'm not good at football, so I have a lot to learn,
Many of the artists who are here love what it does,
It's fun to watch as you pass by, some of
them training on something with the balls
although it is not associated with
the show, but they do it anyway,
Of course I'm a football fanatic,
That's my job and my life,
I watch football, I eat football, I drink football,
So yes, I love football,
My part of the show is not just a boy's reflection,
Whether you are male or female, you can achieve what you want,
I think there is a lot in common between professional
football players and professional acrobats,
Football requires the use of the body,
Strength, agility, alertness and attention are needed,
My discipline is the same,
This aspect is common to the two,
Every day we get frustrated,
Every day we think that this dream will not come true,
Every day people around you say:
"Why waste time with this?"
You take a split, then you go to the
top, and you take a split, a fall, okay?
-Ã ‰ n, Ã © n, to,,, -Then you take a split,
Ok, Three? Just to,,,
-I need it, -Ok,
It's about focusing on your goal every day, and
making sure you remember why you are doing this,
And why you work so hard with it,
One must continue to be an athlete
and at the same time become an artist,
Not only must one develop the athletic aspects, but also the body,
You have to listen carefully to music, pay attention to timing
and coordination, and to know what your colleagues are doing,
Dance lessons, Movement exercises,
Character, Clowns, You have to make fun of yourself,
You have to know the scene, be aware of the surroundings,
You are not alone on stage,
We do not do sports,
There are lights and special effects,
There are traps and winches and much more,
We need to make them aware of that,
Or they go, one, two, three, four,
Five, six, seven, eight, Two, two, three, four,
Five, six, seven, eight,
As for Cata, and the
others who only do sports,
I think their approach to how they can show their
abilities will have changed after joining Cirque,
When the ball moves, I just
want to see a reaction to it,
The audience at the back does not see the
reaction unless it is physically displayed,
There are many acrobatics shows
you can go and see, but what I found out,,,
,,, was that no one remembers the biggest tricks,
You remember the feeling on the way out,
That's what I want
that people bring with them when they come to see the show,
It is important that the metaphors we use are based on something human,
Something we all have in common,
You grab the ball, You're doing your thing,
Cut, Switzerland,
STAGE STARTING
100 DAYS TO THE PREMIERE OF CIRQUE DU SOLEILS MESSI10
The time has come to build the stage, The performance is beginning to take shape,
It was the first performance on stage, Everyone had to be present,
It was much more intensive, we have worked for so long,
It's pretty amazing to see everything come
together, because you imagine everything, but,,,
It is always a question of whether things can be done,
If you get all the necessary elements to pull
together to create the acts and the performance,
We can not say that we have a perfect routine,
because there will always be little things,
or something that does not appease the choreographer,
which he would prefer to change a little,
They try to bring out the best in them,
Constructive criticism is important in order to improve,
You have to take it easy, and you
will reach out if you train every day,
The music is brand new now,
And the lighting,
And the order in the act is also new,
So, yes, we work a lot,
We have a great week this week
to focus on the details and
transitions, and some of the acts,
Our vision is:
"Improvements are always possible,"
We have been working on the music for three months, last week it changed,
The music has been replaced, but then you have to think:
"He did not do it to bother me,
He changes it just because that
way all the parts work better together, "
It has happened during the set-up
that things do not go according to plan,
But I want to give the artists the best creative environment imaginable,
If something fails, it is my and the creative
team's responsibility to solve the problem,
The human aspect is important,
because if you show them respect,
you get it tenfold back in the performances,
Sometimes the exercises start,
suddenly he does something and you think:
"Look, Martin has changed his number today,
Then Chih-Han took out the diabolo and changed something,
It is so good!"
If you get used to seeing and feeling it,
then one disconnects and forgets these everyday things,
In fact, Martin is there, spinning in
the air at a height of eight meters,
If he does not get hold of the pole, it can be dangerous,
We work with risk down to the last millimeter,
There are many people who ask
me about the danger of the machine,
To be honest, there are always five percent
of me, of my body, who are afraid to die,
It can be compared to being a lion tamer,
You have to expect it to jump off the podium and eat you,
For me, it is important to never drop this,,,
,,, the thought, this respect,
I'm not afraid to work with the
machine, but I have deep respect for it,
Last night during the staging,
everyone had moved the mats away,
and I did not wear a seat belt,
so I said to him, "I'm scared,"
"Can you just stand next to me?" He said, "Yes,"
When I made my appearance,
I almost fell off the line,
and when he saw it, he came to the rescue
very quickly, and got me back in place,
It makes me feel very safe,
I injured myself one day, but continued
training, since the injury was not serious,
I just was not able to do many of the numbers in the show,
Something physical happens
when you are injured and you stop,
Something happens to the hormones, and you get depressed,
And the thought of not participating in the
performances themselves is not pleasant,
If someone is injured, you or your friends must fill the void,
If someone gets hurt, it's everyone's problem,
Even though we have known each other for only
a few months, it already feels like a family,
I think everyone misses friends and family, and,,,
,,, we must go together and form our own family,
I only knew 50 people,
We trained with people from all over the world,
Today I am a different person thanks to people I have met,
I have a small family, A big, small family,
And I try to forge closer ties with the people around me,
Now we will travel around the world with the
show, and we will get to know each other better,
Messi is a team player,
One gets the impression that he is a father figure for
the team, and it is shown in the way he celebrates goals,
He usually goes against his teammates,
In his first match
he scored a goal after a pass from Ronaldinho,
He always goes for a group photo,
In the age of selfies, where people want
to be individual, he seeks out the team,
So, one, two, three,,,
,,, Johnny, two, three,,,
,,, and four,
Are you ready?
-Yes, -Silence, thank you!
Make sure no one else is talking,
Yes, now everyone is practicing, huh?
Oh, I like that,
I'm going to the stadium
We sing with friends
Until we win
Yes,
And we always will
Beautiful!
Support our team
On match day
I'm going to the stadium
We sing with friends
Until we win
Come on!
I love football
So I always will
Support my team
And sing for them
Messi!
She gets lifted and just,,,
-We are,,, -Yes, of course,
I'm taking a break there, Yes,
That is what I mean by substantiating the action,
-Yes, -Things like that,
Yes,
Then it ends,,,
,,, and then we build up to something, and then it
can be almost quiet, take it all the way down,,,
Maybe just the piano,
Yes, maybe just a piano key,,,
,,, but not ordinary piano playing,
-Just a little lingering, -Yes,
Somewhat lingering, they rise,,,
,,, and when they do their trick, you
mark that movement in a musical way,
If we have to cut,,,
-,,, then we cut here, -Yes,
So it's first popcorn, where everyone does that,
then everyone goes in towards the middle, and
everyone goes out again, then she jumps in at last,
That is what we are trying to
achieve, but there is a lot of resistance,
Working with a director who knows exactly what
he wants from the start, and who has a vision,,,
He knows what he wants,
So it's a blessing, because you
always know if something works or not,
But it's also a lot of work, since I sometimes
have to make ten or twelve versions of a song
just to try things out, we have to try and fail,
We try different things, and,,,
,,, it's been a pleasure working with him,
and it's not done, so this will be fun,
Now I would,,, Do it again, but just wait a minute,
Live your dreams,
- "Live your dreams," -Ok,
Something like that, rather
than,,, Live your dreams,
-Ok, - It's too fast,
Live your dreams,
Yes, That was probably the best thing, Did you hear that?
Try again,
Dream big,,,
It's very simple, but,,,
,,, it fits so well with the show,
August 14, 2019 in Montreal,,,
,,, there will be a full dress rehearsal, the last one
in Montreal, before we pack up and head to Barcelona,
The idea was to have all the music
done, but we're still working on it,
I think we are ready for the last part, where the
details lie, which will make all the difference,
It's not easy,
This is not easy!
I'm sorry,
I'm excited to do it in front of an audience, because,,,
,,, now we do it just for each other,
and it gets so good to perform in front of other people,
I'm totally,,,
,,, I want this energy, I want to make it happen,
I'm so glad to see you, because
we're getting closer now,,,
Yes, you should smile, you should
be happy, because I think you have
something to show off, so be proud,
It is the first pass from beginning to end,
we have our goals to reach, it's a lot of fun,
Let's go out and have fun,
and overwhelm the audience,
- It's match day! - It's match day!
And remember to sing!
I would change it,
And you add a strobe light effect, and,,,
It was good with an audience
because it showed what I had to work on,
and what is going in the right direction,
I'm not convinced of the expression you're trying to get,
For me, it does not work,
It is unclear what you are trying to achieve,
I'm not giving you my notes, There are only superficialities on the kick,
On the kick,
I'm never completely satisfied,
That's my job,
We always try to push the creative a little further,
But I was quite happy where we were,
I felt that when we came here to Barcelona, ​​we just had
to adjust things, we did not need to rebuild the show,,,
It can happen sometimes,
We discussed the show,
what works, what does not,
they ask questions, and
challenge us, which is great,
They are not there every day,
It's good to get a glimpse
of the outside of the show,
along with the experienced gaze that knows
where we are in the creative process,
-Good bye, -Good bye,
-Thanks people, Good bye, -Sees in Barcelona,
In the second dribble, the lights were better in this number,,,
,,, and only weakness is the end of second
dribbling, they are not here now, but,,,
,,, do we end in the middle, or do we
end next to the one she started with?
There may be something there,,,
,,, she dreams and thinks, looking at the end rather than ending,
And then we also give,,,
,,, the judge more room to enter,,,
We can look at it when we get to,,,
It's not just my thoughts,,,
I have a team for a reason, and that is that,,,
,,, we challenge each other just as much,
It is very important, I would say,,,
,,, that it's arrogant to think that
everything should just happen my way,
It's crazy to think like that,
There are so many people who have experience, so I want
to use the team to find out what works and what doesn't,
Then it's my decision,,,
,,, to choose which suggestions make sense,
because we get many good suggestions,
since everyone is engaged in the show,
I would say we are taking a
vacation, a very well deserved vacation,
So I sound a little like your father now,
-take care of yourselves, -Yes,
Especially the body,
You must work as if the body is your temple,
So do not do crazy acrobatics by jumping down from,,,
-Yes, -,,, from the roof down to the swimming pool,,,
,,, do not do other wild things on
the street, but use this time to rest,
My dream is to have a healthy team, which is ready to go,
You're in the show again, Nacho,
Oleg is almost there, so,,,
,,, we need you to be ready,
so we will be a full team ahead,
Enjoy the vacation,
-See you, -See you,
Be careful,
I'm glad you're in the project,
Enjoy the holidays, Rest out,
-I will, -Yes, rest,
I have to rest so well,
That was it,
-We will train anyway, -I'm going to train anyway,
60 DAYS TO THE PREMIERE OF CIRQUE DU SOLEILS MESSI10
MARTIN RIEDEL ROBOT STICK - CIRQUE DU SOLEILS MESSI10
It is important to,,,
,,, take care of my
body and what I eat is
a big part of it,
I was a vegetarian for four years when I
went to circus school in the Netherlands,
and I have developed,,,
,,, a healthier
approach to eating meat,
If I can afford it, if I have
the opportunity, I support,,,
,,, the right type of meat industry,
KNIFE, FORK, MUSCLE
And this meat,,,
,,, comes from the
Pyrenees from small farmers,
so it supports the local industry,
Empty of eggs,
Hey, Bessy, Hello,
It's an experiment,
It's crazy to have a hen in the
middle of town or in the backyard here,
But I like that the hen jumps and catches
it in the air, but she is not acrobatic,
My next project will be a goat,
But then also with everything,,,
First it's for the milk, I want to make
cheese, learn to make cheese,,,
,,, from the goat, it's a simple
animal, it needs very little,
But I need four times the space I have now to have a goat,
Just a moment, I have a hen on my arm,
The big challenge is tomorrow,
Then the landlord comes, and he does not know about the hens,
I have to blackmail him,,,
,,, do not blackmail him, but I bought,,,
,,, he gets premiere tickets to the show,
When I left Montreal, I had,,,
What I did
the next day, was not to rest,
I looked at the last review, and I,,,
,,, had 34 pages of notes,
I sent the notes to the various departments,
both the choreographers, the music designers,
the stage designers, everyone got something,
We only knew what kind of
performance we had when we arrived here
to Barcelona, ​​and into the Spantech tent,
It's a huge show,
There are 170 costumes in the show,
We knew there was a lot
to do and a lot of integration,
The last month here we have done just that,
Now we operate and adjust and refine,
We have several runs on the tests now, so
we find the rhythm in this new situation,
we have more space now,
The artist must also be able to reach
the audience at the very back of the hall,
so this is something new that we
need to get everyone to respond to,
The biggest risk in the last three weeks, in
connection with the staging, is damage to artists,
We push the artists hard, but we
need to know how much we can push,
Sometimes we do not know,
because all artists have different bodies,
and that is why,,,
,,, I need to know who the artist is
and how vulnerable their body is,
Now we have to make sure that the artists are not pressured every time,
because we need them in ten days for the premiere,
At the same time, they need to find a balance in
what they do to know the timing of everything,
Well,,,
We take the legs, the gluteal muscles, the upper back, and the rest I take with the pistol,
-Ok, -But calm, ok?
-Ok, -It will take time,
We will do it with chest and hip rotation,
It's an old injury,
The feeling was good,,,
,,, when I climbed the rope, there was no doubt I would make it,
I rested well during the holidays,
-Are you off today? -I have to practice,
- Are you going to practice? -Yes,
-When? -After this,
10 DAYS TO THE PREMIERE OF CIRQUE DU SOLEILS MESSI10
LAST GENERAL TEST
Good luck, Enjoy it,
-Good luck, buddy, -Thanks,
Get a moment with that audience, huh?
And that audience, ok?
I'm not done with it, so grab it,
When we rehearse without an audience, we
see empty chairs, and we get no response,
It's not the same to talk to the wall, it's
not like interacting with an eager audience,
This test is more for us than for the creative team,
We need to know about what we do well, and what we can curb a little,,,
I use my make-up time to listen to podcasts to learn something,
There are many who believe that we
need to plant more trees to get better air,
There is research that also says that it is not beneficial,
It is relaxing to put on make-up, you get time alone
to get ready,,, you can focus on your routine
and things you have to do,,, you can have fun,
Everyone, it's ten minutes to warm up,
and twenty minutes to start the show,
Full costume, Full makeup,
And quick changes and everything, so this is the
first performance, first run-through for us, so,,,
There's just something there, it's
going to explode, I do not know what it is,
You can get nervous before you go on, but I
feel calm because you have to take advantage
the voltage generated here,
Ten days before the premiere, I feel
excited because it will happen soon,
We are also exhausted due to the
amount of work in the last two weeks,
Everything we have done will be shown to the public very soon,
So it is it is a,,,
You get a little nervous doing that,
This is the first time my family comes to a show
and see a Cirque performance I have created,
So a lot is at stake, but,,,
,,, it motivates and drives me to push,
I know how many people work on this,
I always want to achieve more,,,
,,, to get a full audience,
That is, three times as many,,, six times as many, Just think about it,
Messi!
Last six minutes of the match,
Messi looks for the ball, starting from the center of the field,
The world's best player, He runs in, out,,,
Fantastic! Lionel walks towards the goalkeeper,
Five, four, three, two, one,,,
Goal!
We suggested an interactive experience "The Messi10 Challenge,"
It's the opportunity to be Leo Messi for a while, pretending to be Leo,
You get to participate in the show, not
just be entertained for an hour and a half,
or from the time you buy the ticket and find out what the show is about,
We create content around the show,
Leo is the player all the technicians want to direct,
Leo is the player everyone wants on the team,
He is the one the rivals want to avoid,
Messi and football are synonyms,
I think Messi creates language,
I would like to mention Marc Pastor, a writer
from Barcelona, ​​who made a dictionary definition
of the adjective "messimo", which is related to Messi,
"One, adjective: who excels in football,
who exhibits a high technical level,
perseverance, quality, strength in a played match or a goal,
And number two: qualifying or final confrontation
where a great performance by Leo Messi has been seen, "
PREMIERE FOR CIRQUE DU SOLEILS MESSI10
All right, Ok,
Ok,
I look forward to seeing it, to seeing how everything is,
I've been told something, but I have not seen it,
I have been waiting for the day and I
will be surprised, like everyone else,
When I was a kid, I loved to play, I could not stop,
I did not dream about what happened later in my life,
Thank God, it was bigger than I could dream of,
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Messi10 by Cirque du Soleil!
Every day I devoted myself to the
day, and I gave as much as I could,
So I'm not afraid of anything,
I am positive and want to be consistent,
and build on it every day,
That's my goal,
When I start walking towards the
rope, I get scared of it every time,
When I get on the rope, the fear diminishes,
because it's my time on the rope,
So in that moment,
my head is already empty,
I hear nothing, not even the music,
I do not hear the applause from the audience,
When the numbers are over,
then the sound comes back to me again,,,
Number ten must make the difference,
Look back and know that the team is there,,,
,,, and then continue,
It's a long journey, It's about doing your best,,,
,,, be the best,
I thank you from the bottom of my heart,
You probably saw the audience response and,,,
,,, they mentioned the connection you had with
the audience, everyone could see and feel it,
I'm proud of you, everyone is,
Thank you,
Go and enjoy yourself tonight, for
you deserve every moment, Thanks,
I just want to say that today I saw passionate people,
I saw people who looked the audience in the eye,
This is very important and it is,,,
,,, a sign that it is a solid performance,
And you remembered one thing,,,
,,, when you crossed the line to go on stage,
did you do it for the audience,
It's ice that you are proud new fathers and mothers,
Congratulations,
I love you, have a nice tour,
I changed my life for football and made decisions when I was young,
I always fought for my dream,
I knew I wanted to play football professionally,
I did everything to make it happen, and thank
God I achieved it, but I had to opt out a lot,
As a 13-year-old, I left my country, friends and family,
I study Messi's strengths and incredible achievements,
By doing so and building up the show,
I recently realized that I have learned a lot myself,
Sometimes one thinks, "I do it as a concept,"
but if you think about it a little closer:
"What are my strengths and how can I improve them?"
I realized during the project
that I have grown as a stage director,
I have grown creatively,
for while we work, Messi sets new records
and it shows me that nothing is set,
I hope I can use this knowledge I have gained
to my next step, because
this is a landmark in my career,
