Professional Bull Riders in New York

Mónica Boixeda New Yorker, Only-Be

Perhaps few things describe very well, the main features that make up the image of what is essentially to be an American, as the rodeo activities, often qualified by its followers as the world´s toughest sport. The cowboy image symbolize, supported on advertising, television and films, the archetype of an independent American, tough, mysterious and taciturn, a being of border that embodies the spirit of the pioneer capable of making his way in hostile and unknown lands, dominated by nature. In his book Lila, An Inquiry Into Morals, the author Robert M Pirsig U.S. reflected on the way the most characteristic features which often identifies the American cowboy, seem almost as an identical mirror that evokes the figure of the American Indians, true natives of a land that was taken away from them in a singularly cruel by the bloody and genocidal hands of the European settlers. Traits such as generosity and confidence in himself, an enigmatic silence, only broken by a surprisingly accurate measurement and choice of words (never spoken just to fill or kill time), a state of permanent alert, a developed sense of ritual, decent behavior, modest, reserved and dignified, as well as a certain willingness to sudden outbursts of extreme violence, would be just some of the features of the cultural values of the Native Americans that may be reflected in the figure of the white American cowboy, which appeals to the heart of the nation identified as the historical cultural system of American values , source of all that is considered good unconsciously by most of the inhabitants of the country.

Alegria was a show presented by Cirque du Soleil in 1994, in Montreal, for the tenth anniversary of its founding. It´s a less circus and more drama show because it faces the issue of abuse of power and the struggle for freedom. This musical arrangements and lighting are intended to generate an attractive atmosphere , where the magic of motion and color transport the viewer to the essence of the conflict. This interesting approach, with the participation of 55 artists and musicians from 17 countries has delighted millions The Cirque du Soleil was founded in 1984 by street performers Guy Laliberté and Daniel Gauthier, in Baie-Saint Paul, Quebec, Canada. The name comes from the reflections of Laliberté that the sun gives energy and life to all beings in the world, just like the circus, where the show transmits vital energy to the audience. The quest to create a different show, where the circus ring becomes a place of expression and transmission of ideas, took Guy Laliberté to hire Guy Caron National of the Circus School of Canada to invent a contemporary circus with a focus on themes, eliminating the exploitation of animals and incorporating cultural diversity of the... read more
