So is this version of "Cirque Imagine" going to have two different set pieces for it's stunts? If so then it's nice that we'll see a "set change" at the KD Theater once again.
I can only go by the YouTube video that was shot last year at KI. Their Cirque version used the fly space at the front of the stage to hang staggered panels that were used to project theater lighting effects on at the beginning of the show and were used as a back drop for at least one act during the performance. KI's version also used a small platform for an acrobatic set and the stunt bike set during the first half of the show.
About half way in KI's Cirque show, two large set pieces come from the left & right stage wings and join at center stage. Those 2 set pieces each contain 1 trampoline with a center and back wall. About 4-5 athletes go into a routine that is very similar to KD's 2014 Haunt show "Skeleton Crew".
Those set pieces then retract back and, I believe, the final act is performed. From what I saw in the video, the colorful rear set piece, with the center tunnel, is stationary for the whole performance.
From the photo above, KD's front set pieces seem to be of a lager scale than KI's version. I can't tell if the front set is two massive set pieces or 4. If 4 pieces, then I would think the center pieces have those "jungle gym" metal bars at the center and the front 2 pieces have what look to be mens gymnastic high bars.
From what I can gather from my "sources", the set pieces arrived the 1st week in June; the cast started practicing last week; this week is for the technical runs. I am not sure if they will offer a preview show before this Saturday (The All Wheel Sports show had one preview performance last Friday before the official opening this past Saturday).
The 1st official show of KD's Cirque Imagine is this Saturday at 2:00pm.
FYI, KI's Cirque show opened last weekend and Canada's Wonderland's Cirque version opens next Saturday the 27th.
