Cirque du Soleil plans one-time-only Oscar piece

Pada tanggal 17 Februari yang lalu, Associated Press mengabarkan bahwa Cirque du Soleil akan mengisi salah satu acara Oscar tanggal 26 Februari 2012 yang akan datang. Acara tersebut belum pernah ditampilkan Cirque du Soleil dan tidak akan ditampilkan lagi ya ya tapi yang lebih penting adalah.. Musiknya akan dibuat oleh Danny Elfman! Kalau menurut artikelnya, musiknya bukan akan dibuat tapi sudah dibuat, berikut kutipannya:

The three-minute performance at the Oscars on Feb. 26 will be among the international troupe's biggest yet, said Cirque du Soleil special events director Yasmine Khalil, featuring more than 50 artists.

Cirque du Soleil has a Hollywood-themed show now at the Kodak Theatre, where the Oscars will be presented, but the performance for the awards telecast is "unique for this one evening" and not taken from any of the troupe's 22 productions playing around the world. After the Oscar show, the performance won't be presented anywhere again.

"The theme is very much in line with paying tribute to the movie-theater experience," Khalil said, adding it was different from "Iris," Cirque's show at the Kodak Theater, which is billed as "a journey into the world of cinema."

Like "Iris," the music for the troupe's Oscar performance was composed by Danny Elfman.
