Plus, the life-changing connection the traveling performers have to Georgia teens, and how the amazing partnership started 15 years ago right here in metro Atlanta.

In the early 1980's, a small theatre troupe gave regular performances in a small coastal town in the province of Quebec in Canada.

In 1984, the band of jugglers, stilt-walkers, musicians, dancers, finally convinced the organizers of Quebec City's 450th Anniversary to let them be the featured attraction during the celebration. And Cirque du Soleil was born!
