Andreanne Nadeau, the Moon Goddess in Cirque du Soleil's Amaluna

Sneak Peak: Amaluna by Cirque Du Soleil from Voice Media Group on Vimeo.

The audience won't be the only ones in awe at performances of Cirque du Soleil Presents Amaluna. According to performer Andreanne Nadeau, when they aren't onstage, the other members of the circus acts stand in the wings in wonder. "I watch the show and say, 'Wow, that's so amazing!' There are so many things that I could never do." This coming from one of the show's aerialists, who spends her time in the show suspended high over the stage.

Nadeau appears as the Moon Goddess in Amaluna, one of several goddesses who are passing along their strength and knowledge to Miranda, the queen's daughter. (Shakespeare's The Tempest served as inspiration for Amaluna.)
