"I am blessed for what I have, but I believed in it from the beginning. Today, the dream is the same: I still want to travel, I still want to entertain and I most certainly still want to have fun"
Guy Laliberté
Guy Laliberté is one of the Quebecers who made us proud. He embodies well the little boy who can make it big myth.
The little boy from Baie-Saint-Paul was a streets entertainer when he created the Cirque du Soleil in 1984. The young man had huge inspirations and saw his idea became a "must" in Quebec City. Sin 25 years, the Cirque du Soleil creates magic in all the countries they visit.
Guy Laliberté started from nothing when he decided to revolutionize the art of the circus; there were no more animals as the traditional perception. He used the strength of men and their abilities to make the magical shows that take now life all around the world. With him, we can be sure that the entertainment will be perfect. In fact, every detail is important and nothing is left aside. Costumes, choreographies, music and movements are perfect due to a bunch of people. As well, they always have new stuff to present to their public. Shows like Alegria, Dralion and Love last for years and still give magic. The Cirque du Soleil is active in Americas, Europe, Asia, Middle East and Oceania. Not that bad!
Mister Laliberté is now has a 2.5 billion USD fortune. That is quite good for someone who started his company from nothing. Even if he is that rich, Guy Laliberté still remember who he is and where he comes from. He often comes back in Quebec City and he loves his city, his roots.
Last summer, in the Old Quebec, Guy Laliberté and his Cirque du Soleil came in the streets to present Les Chemins Invisibles. This was a show created for the Quebecer. Also, Guy Laliberté engaged a lot of Quebecers artists to participate in this outside entertainment. For our nation, this was an important moment because this show was for us. This free entertainment brought a lot of tourists in the city. It put Quebec on the map. Guy Laliberté was, 25 years ago, a streets entertainer and he came back to streets for us.
Guy Laliberté makes our nation proud of him and of his work. Because of him, we are now known all over the world. This Quebecer represents us and our values everywhere he goes. This hero believes in his dreams and his ambitions. He believes, since 1984, that he is able to do it and he made it. For Quebecers, this is a good example of courage and of determination. If he is able to make his dreams come true, everyone can make it!
Finally, the Cirque du Soleil, an international company, owes it success to the genius of a young dreamer: Guy Laliberté. He fighted for what he believed in and made it true. This young man makes it big 25 years ago and he still work for it today. He represents the "Cinderella myth" but most of all, he represents a proud nation!
